Student Health and Counseling Services makes return to campus
By Jasmine Demers
The HOPE and Wellness
Center is also home to student
run organizations that advocate for healthy lifestyles
through peer education.
Some of these organizations
include Students Talking
About Relationships and Sex
(STARS), and Active Minds,
a group whose purpose is to
destigmatize mental illness.
Victoria Sandoval, Peer
Educator and President of
Active Minds, explains how
she got involved in these
programs and what kind of
influence she thinks peer
education has on students.

Latin@ Center to be opened at CSUSM this year
Raza Center movement reaches important milestone
By Katlin Sweeney
Editor-in-Chief
Many members of the
campus community and
surrounding San Marcos
area saw their dream become a reality when President Haynes announced that
CSUSM will implement a
Latin® Center this year.
On Jan. 28, President
Haynes notified the campus populace of the news
through an email from the
Office of the President,
confirming CSUSM's plans
to move forward with the
creation of what was formerly referred to as the
"Raza Center." In her email,
Haynes announced that the
Latin® Center would open
in fall 2015 and be located
in the USU, a process that
will be overseen by Dr. Lorena Meza, Vice President of
Student Affairs. According
to Haynes, Meza will also
oversee the development

of "operational structure,
budget, location and timeline
for the Center's opening."
While the implementation
of the Latin® Center may
come as a surprise to some,
many members of the campus and local community
have been working to bring
this center to CSUSM for
more than a year. CSUSM is
considered a Hispanic Serving Institution, with 4,036 of
its 11300 students identifying as Hispanic or Latino/a
in 2014. This translates to
approximately 35.6 percent
of the entire student population on campus, a percentage
only surpassed by the Caucasian student population of
approximately 35.8 percent.
Due to the demographics of the campus and
surrounding
communities, student organizations
such as United Students of
Color Coalition (USCC),
M E.ChA., Ballet Folklorico and S.TA.N.D. have
participated in starting conversations demonstrating the
need for a center at CSUSM.
Methods for raising awareness have included drafting a petition which garnered about 600 signatures
in total, meeting with Dr.
Arturo Ocampo, Associate
Vice President of the Office
of Diversity and Inclusion
and creating the hashtag
#RazaCenterCSUSM.
In 2014, Cipriano Vargas,
former Vice President of Operations on ASI's Board of
Directors (BoD), met with
members of these and other
student orgs, to draft the ASI
Resolution for a Latino/Hispanic center on campus. The
BoD voted in favor of the
Resolution on Feb. 28,2014,
and it was then sent to President Haynes to be either approved or dismissed. Haynes
approved the Resolution and
created a work group that
was tasked with depicting
how to implement the center
at CSUSM, as well as how it
could benefit students. These
proposals were submitted for
review this past December.
Now Meza and her search
committee will begin looking for candidates to fill
the position of the Latin@
Center's assistant director.
The Center will support not
only Hispanic and Latino/a
students on campus, but the
entire campus community in
an effort to celebrate Latin @
culture and provide important resources for success.

CSUSM traveled back
in time and revisited the
1990s, with its hallmark
plaid clothes, denim, Capri Sun drinks and ring
pops as a way of providing its students with an enjoyable social opportunity
with their fellow Cougars.
Hosted by Associated
Student Inc. (ASI) and the
University Student Union
Activities Board (USUAB),
the '90's themed dance was
held on Jan. 23 at the Clarke
Field House and was the
first of many events that
these organizations plan
to promote this semester.
ASI and USUAB are the
lead coordinators for fun
events on campus, such as
last semester's Masquerade Ball. By collaborating with other on-campus
organizations, they plan
to hold a variety of events
that will offer CSUSM students affordable, safe and
interesting
entertainment.
ASI Representative Hannah
Hawker
explains
the importance of these
events and the goals that
they are trying to achieve.
"We want to gauge the
college culture, to see if it's
changing. We want to attract all types of students.
We've noticed that the students, underclassmen fresh
from high school especially,
really like the dances. It's
a free and/or cheap way to
have fun," Hawker said.
Past events, such as the
CSUSMixer last semester, have proven to be successful by bringing together a diverse crowd of
students for fun mingling.
USUAB
representative
Kadie Heck also comments on the events that
are geared towards student interaction, specifically organized dances.

Outside of dances, these
organizations are putting together many other events as
well. There are free movies

Self-defense training provides women
with necessary tools for safety
Initiative to halt cultural appropriation
debuts at Kellogg Library

RAD instructors demonstrate self-defense techniques.
By N icole Holman and
Jasmine Demers
A ssistant N ews E ditor
& N ews E ditor
CSUSM students are
learning how to fight back
against domestic and sexual
abuse through a hands-on
campus training program.
Rape Aggression Defense
(R.A.D), the world's largest self-defense program, is
dedicated to teaching women
practical and effective techniques to prevent assault.
Courses are available to all
women attending CSUSM
and are taught by nationally
certified defense instructors.
Classes cover a range of topics, including how to react
in high-risk situations and
hands-on defense techniques.
R.A.D Instructor, Matthew Curran, explains the
importance of adopting
habits that will work to increase your personal safety.
"One of the ways women
can avoid becoming targets
is to always be aware of their
surroundings," Curran said.
"If you feel something is
out of place, act on it. Don't
ignore your gut instinct. If
you feel that something is
wrong or that someone is
giving you a bad vibe, listen
to that feeling and get yourself somewhere safe. It's
better to be safe than sorry."
Curran also goes on to
highlight the reasons why it
is so important for women
to take advantage of self-
defense training, specifically in a college setting.
"Any female can benefit
from learning how to better
defend herself in high-risk
situations .Their
self-confidence improves and they
are more aware, especially
in college, where this is
many students' first time on
their own and away from
their parents," Curran said.
Melissa Olmos, CSUSM
student and R A.D Training participant, explains
that she wanted to take the
course for reasons of selffulfillment and practice.
"You can always improve your skills in order to
catch attackers off-guard.
Even if you feel that you
are prepared, i tV always
good to keep yourself in
practice,"
Olmos
said.
She also goes on to explain the ways that she feels
she has benefitted from the
training itself, and how she
plans to use it in the future.
"I feel like there's a lot of
individual growth that takes
place during this training,"
Olmos said. "You're learning
how to be prepared. You can
also take what you learn and
share it with your friends so
that they can be safer, too."
Staying safe has become an
increasing concern on college campuses, with reports
showing that at least one
in four college women will
experience sexual assault.
The CSUSM campus itself
has been affected by similar
cases, such as the investigation of the unaffiliated fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon.
Last semester, TKE was under investigation for multiple
sexual assault allegations.
Added to these reports were
other criminal activities such
as hazing, providing illegal
drugs and alcohol to minors
and vandalism. At the start
of December 2014, campus police served TKE with
search warrants at two different locations where they
found evidence to support
these allegations. According
to the police report, evidence
retrieved at the locations
included $1,000 in cash,
human growth hormones,
marijuana, cocaine, LSD,
What started out as a few
passionate people creating a
project to take a stand against
cultural appropriation has
become a three-month-long
exhibition of student photographed and designed
posters in Kellogg Library.
These posters are unlike
other anti-racism and antistereotyping
campaigns.
They feature the faces of
CSUSM students, photographed by their peers,
taking a stand against the
cultural appropriation that
marginalized communities
face on a regular basis. Individuals are depicted ripping apart photographs of
offensive Halloween costumes that stereotype various
cultures such as Latino/a,
American Indian and African American. Models for

comments from a student's
perspective on the return
of SHCS to CSUSM and
the effect that she hopes it
will have on the campus.
"The new SHCS Building
is going to benefit the campus
in so many ways. I am an RA
for the UVA and I have had
times where residents needed
to go to the clinic but could
not due to transportation issues," Sandoval said. "The
convenience of the building
will allow students direct access to health services. Also
I have seen that students feel
more comfortable knowing
that in case of an emergency... the clinic is there, accessible, and ready to help."
Sandoval also explains
how rewarding her experience has been while working as a Peer Educator and
being a part of such an important campus organization.
"The whole outreach portion of the SHCS has blessed
me with so many opportuni-
ties such as this one, through
being apart of their amazing student team," Sandoval
said. "Everyone in the clinic
inspires me in different ways
being that their personal jobs
all give back to the students
of CSUSM in a unique way. I
feel the genuine effort every
staff member gives whether
they are direct counselors/
educators or those that work
the magic behind the scenes."
CSUSM students are encouraged to get involved and
help spread awareness about
health issues on campus.

The College of Humanities, Arts, Behavioral and
Social Sciences has added
a Child and Adolescent
Development (CHAD) degree program this semester.
Students enrolled in the
program will learn essential
skills applicable to a wide
range of careers. Program
Director Dr. Sharon Hamill
explained that the CHAD
program's focus is on the
empirical understanding of
the development of children
and adolescents." Graduates
will have the skills necessary to work with families
and know how to best cater to the specific needs
of
individual
children.
In addition to being prepared for child care related
jobs, graduates will better
understand the behaviors of
children in a multi-faceted
manner and become better
suited to efficiently handle
a variety of both professional and personal situations.
In families where both
parents work, child services are a necessity and
high quality care is vital for
proper development. According to Forbes, only 10
percent of childcare programs can be identified as
"high quality." This creates
a .large market for trained
individuals in the field of
adolescent
development.
The U.S. federal government has also acknowledged
the need for improved child
care. Two bipartisan bills
were signed into effect in
2014, making background
checks and annual inspections a requirement f or child
care workers. In January,
Speaker of the House John
Boehner met with Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell on 60 Minutes to discuss the state
of American child care..
During
the
interview
Boehner said, "in the overall context of simplifying
our tax code and bringing
rates down for everyone —
simply improving access
to child care isn't universally good if the quality of
care doesn't improve too."
Dr. Hamill and her coworkers have been working
to make the degree available to students for the last
10 years. The recent national focus on child care
is perfectly timed with the
introduction of the program.
When asked about the
recent
political
movements, Hamill said, "We
built the degree in part
with that bill in mind."
CSUSM students who
graduate with a degree in
Child and Adolescent development will be prepared
to fill the need for skilled
specialists in a growing
industry. If interested in
learning more about the program, make an appointment
with your academic advisor or stop by Craven Hall
1300 during drop-in hours.

Lady Cougars look to blaze the track
2015 Indoor Track Season Preview
By Burtland Dixon
Sports Editor
Last year the Lady Cougars
finished their season ranked
twenty-third, but now they
look to improve on that ranking not just as a team, but as
individual runners as well.
The CSUSM Women's
Track and Field team begin
their indoor season on Feb.
7, 2015. What exactly is
indoor track? Indoor track
takes place in an indoor arena, as opposed to outside as
many of us are accustomed
to. Indoor also has differ-
ent events to compete in
that outdoor track does not
have. For instance, indoor
competitors race in a 60
meter hurdle race whereas
outdoor hurdlers duke it out
at a distance of 100 meters.
Track and Field is just as
much a mental sport as it
is a physical sport. If you
come out to a practice any
given day, you see athletes
slumped over with agony all
over their faces, and if you
are not mentally tough, you
will not be able to finish a
workout. The sight of agony
is a coach's delight however, because it means the
intense workouts are doing
their job. With all the tough
practices, it would almost
be blasphemous to not see
benefits when it is time for
competition. That is exactly
why athletes on the CSUSM
team are primed to improve
on their speed from last year.
Sophomore
Kamarria
Rehn and Senior Brittany
Hollie are a few that are
poised for a takeover at the
National
Championships.
"One of my goals this
season is to finish in a
higher ranking," Hollie
said. "I finished seventh
last year, so I want to try
and go top five this year."
Yes, you read correct: top
five. Considering how difficult it is to even be ranked
at all, this would be a lofty
goal for anyone to set, but
for Hollie, it is nothing

a person for the upcoming activity. Having a set
time can help build a regiment of exercise into a busy
school schedule. Fitting in
at least an hour a day, three
days a week can drastically
improve an individual's
health. Having a schedule
can also help make it easier
to plan studying around your
schedule because you'll
know what to expect during the upcoming weeks.
3. "Just Do It"
Nike hit the nail on the head
with this iconic three-word
slogan: walking, running,
bicycling, basketball, tennis; volleyball, swimming,"
yoga; the list of activities can
go on. You've already dedicated the time to exercise so
all you have to do now is,
"just do it." Just get out there
and do something, anything!
Get out and dribble a basketball, take a walk around
the block, go on a hike or
my personal favorite, try to
walk every step at CSUSM.
4. Have Fun!
It's easy to get into a redundant regiment of working
out the same muscles, on the
same machine, at the same
gym, seeing the same people; so mix up your workouts
to keep things fresh. Try out
a new sport or run a different
route. Do something you like
to do instead of doing workouts just to "look good."
People look their best when
smiling, so find something
you love and stick with it.
Along with an academic
workout, the spring semester is a great time to
start getting healthy for the
upcoming spring break!
Benefits of personal trainer

A beach trip is coming

self-conscious about your
appearance. Your body is

is a reality. Others are still

they stop the dreaming?

ular that is sure fired help.
"If a client wants a personal trainer, it's nice for them
because they can get a personalized workout program
made specifically for them
and what fitness goals they
have," said Brendyn Heath,
CSUSM's highly acclaimed
trainer. "If they had no clue
on what to do in the gym before, they will have a much
better understanding of fitness and exercising after."
Nevertheless, it is completely reasonable to those
who are full-time students,
have a job and spend their
free time with studying and
homework; no knock to your
hustle. However, to those
who just are not motivated or
say they do not want to go to
the gym because they have
not the slightest clue where
to start, fret no more. A personal trainer is just what you
need. CSUSM offers a plethora of services and activities,
and hiring your own trainer is one of them. The pool

A tribute to a sports broadcasting icon
By Burtland Dixon
Sports Editor
The year was 1993 when
ESPN hired what turned
out to be one of their most
special employees to this
day. The sports world was
certainly unprepared for
what was to come next,
but it was surely overdue.
There are some people in
life who seem to just get it,
whatever it may be, and Stuart Scott is truly one of those
people. From his catchphrases to his fervor towards
whatever he was doing,
audiences who tuned in to
watch him discuss sports always walked away satisfied.
As the years went by during his stint at ESPN, Stuart's popularity began ris-
face vocabulary, such as
"Boo-Yah!" or "Just call him
butter cause he's on a roll."
Stuart was one of a kind.
"Stuart was a pioneer, he
brought a style to sports
commentary that was exciting and upbeat, and he also
took pride in what he did,"
fourth-year CSUSM student, Chris Melendez, said.

Is it possible to use a degree to further both a passion

John Glasoe, a Temecula

Equipped with a degree

Chicago for a few years and
Washington D.C., but always
came back to California."
Here at Cal State San Marcos, Metcalfe is a Professor
of Literature with eight years
under her belt, but initially,
she wanted to obtain a degree in acting and directing
due to her love for theater.
She ultimately ended up
teaching Intro to Literature
because she loved reading so much. Even though
she did not go into theater,
Metcalfe says that she loves
her job as a professor here
at CSUSM, but on the other hand while laughing and
shaking her finger from side
to side she adds, "What I
don't like is grading papers!"
When asked what her
dream job would be had
she gone a different route,
her eyes begin to glisten as she says, "acting."
"I actually still have fantasies of when and if I retire,
maybe doing community
theater. I think that this was
more feasible, working as
a professor, in terms of being able to support myself
than taking my chances
like some many brave people do and trying to make it
in the theater; so it's more
of a practical choice that's
worked out very well."
And if she could have
magical powers she declared while giggling, "I
would enlighten everyone, I would have everyone on the planet achieve
instant
enlightenment!"
As for advice that not only
fellow literature majors can
take from, but anyone else
as well, Metcalfe cites passion as a good motivator.
"You have to do something
that you genuinely love.
And sometimes it doesn't
look very practical, but if
it's something you love, you
will find a way to make it
work in your life and you
won't hate yourself for making the wrong choice and
you won't burn out and get
bored. Joseph Campbell, a
famous student of mythology said, 'Follow your bliss,'
and I think he was right."

Seasonal loneliness: The
Valentine's naming dilemma
Why Valentine's Day is day to
celebrate, not stress
By Will McCurdy
Assistant to the Editor-in-Chief
Single's Awareness Day.
To some it's a rallying
cry, others are apathetic
and still more consider it,
with a snort of derision,
as the preferred term with
a cynical lens directed toward a day celebrating a
celibate Christian martyr.
Valentine's Day, despite
its religious roots, has developed into a secular holiday
full of amorous ambitions
and Ben & Jerry's. The term,
Single's Awareness Day,
was created to direct attention toward a crowd that is
not within the celebrating
demographic of the holiday.
However, the present tense
is used because the term has
largely turned into a larger
joke than it was at its inception. There are no maroon
cards shaped like anatomically correct hearts to hand
out to friends and acquaintances and no apathetically
wrapped gift boxes. Television networks would be
hard pressed to air anything
other than films about love.
Ultimately, the only change
garnered with these words is
a short-lived sense of comradery with whoever uttered

Assistant Arts & Entertainment
Editor
Photo Illustration by Nick
it, followed by an awkward
high five and the subsequent
repression of any unpleasant memories that come as
a result of the interaction.
So if not Single's Awareness Day, then what do those
without a date do to bring
attention to themselves?
The answer is quite simple:
nothing. Valentine's Day is
a commercialized mess to
the point that the fact that
there isn't a Charlie Brown
special on it is quite surprising. But beyond capitalistic
aimed cynicism, there's no
real reason to get into a mood
that requires making a joke
about the name of a holiday.
While some rush around
to get chocolates and flowers for their sweetheart, a
person of the non-committed
persuasion can exploit the
Nootbaar
cheaper prices for chocolate
and flowers while potentially enjoying a good romantic comedy film later in the
evening. Dining out becomes
considerably more simple as
single and odd numbered parties can get in much quicker
than couples that always
pack the establishments.
Let the couples of the
world have their holiday
with deep red roses, absurd
lines at restaurants and boxes of chocolate shaped like
rear ends. A name is a small
concession to pay for the
benefits taken advantage of
by all parties. May the joke
of bringing awareness to
those lacking in paramours
be done with and instead be
used as a chance to take advantage of its rampant commercialism through candy.
Why history is best major
Attention to all you hopeless romantics, Valentine's
Day is fast approaching.
Whether you're in a relationship or choosing to dub that
Saturday as "Single Awareness Day," it's the one day
that people tend to stress
over more than Christmas.
This holiday has a reputation in which extravagant
surprises take place, marathons of sappy love movies
air on television and love
songs to set the mood play
on repeat. I don't know
about you, but it never fails
to bring out every PDAcentered couple to surround
every inch of outside civilization. (Note: Love is a
beautiful thing, but nobody
really needs to see whose
chapstick can last longer.)
It's a time where girls
can finally have a reasonable excuse to take Forrest
Gump's offer of having
that savory box of chocolate, as if we need a day
to remind us of the necessity of life that is chocolate.
While the idea of Valentine's Day is nice, it seems
as if the male population
is slowly starting to dread
the approaching love shenanigans. Valentine's Day
has altered its name to:
"Don't Screw It Up Day."
Here's a little advice to all
you guys feeling the pressure and stress to give that
special someone a day to
remember: Stop thinking
so much, but please don't
run away from the day.
It would* be a lie to not
admit that the media can
create fictional fantasies
filled with nothing but candlelit dinners, bouquets of
roses, extravagant gestures,
blinged-out gifts and males
being every inch the Prince
Charming that seems to be so
rare to find in the real world.
While the glitz, glam
and Prince Charming fantasy seems nice, is it that
shocking to consider that
maybe all of it isn't necessarily needed to make that
special someone happy?
If you want to go all out and
try to be that Prince Charming I think every guy can be,
but secretly protests by committing all your love to video
games and food, then go right
ahead. But deep down, not all
girls want just those knight
in shining armor moments.
Sometimes the smallest gestures are just as meaningful.
Forget the candlelit din-
ner and stay in for a movie
night marathon together
because maybe having
alone, cuddle time beats
being out in public with
every couple in America.
Don't break your wallet
trying to get that diamond
jewelry that will add more
stress to your already long
list of "Oh, I need to pay for
that" pile. Get your significant other a box of pizza in
the shape of heart, because
no matter how much we can
try to fight it, carbs will always be a girl's best friend.
You don't need to get a
myriad of gifts to prove your
love, just take the time to
talk and reflect on the feelings you have, but sometimes forget to express.
Communication goes a long
way and what better way to
surprise her than by expressing your thought bubble,
the one she secretly always
wonders what it contains?
The moral of this day isn't
to stress so much but to just
enjoy spending time with
whoever makes you happy.
It would be a shame to run
away from the day out of
fear of "messing up." Life is
already stressful, so why add
more on a day that simply
calls for the little things to
celebrate something special?
The world in the palm of your hand
By Erich Allen
StaffWriter
If you're undecided as
to what major to declare at
CSUSM, or if you already
have, I encourage you to
pursue a degree in history.
History as a discipline
is critical in the analysis
of self-identity, and facilitates the building of tools
required for any and every
investigatory task. It also effectually operates as a compilation of all human activity and discovery; therefore,
as a practice it delves into
all regions of academia.
Everyone likes history,
because everyone does history. This is not a reference
to the proverbial "You make
history, everyday" trite. Historiography, the process of
doing history, is the process
of evaluating the relevant information regarding a specified topic for the purpose of
building an argument. One
analyzes the primary evidence (sources from the time
period) and the secondary
evidence (investigations by
scholarly experts) so as to
develop a complete and thorough conclusion. That's all
history entails: making arguments based off of the evidence. But the possibilities
are endless, as history is not
merely the study of what hap-
pened, but why it happened.
We frequently use this process in our own lives. For example, if I want to understand
why I received a poor grade
on an written exam, I review
the questions I got wrong,
areas of the study guide or
textbook that I overlooked,
and my own notes (primary),
as well as professor comments and/or input from fellow students who received
better scores (secondary).
History is a tool by which
we discover ourselves. Our
individual identity is most
completely established with
a structured analysis of our
decisions, worldview and the
actions that have occurred
within or without our control.
To understand these things,
we may initially make assertions based in the present, but
we ultimately always delve
into the past to substantiate
those assertions. We look at
the big events in our lives,
such as a significant award,
an act of compassion by
friends, a breakup, council
from trusted advisors, getting
hired for a job, an ideological
revelation or winning/losing
a game. History is investigating what lead up to those
events, and how those events
affect us now. Understanding these causes and effects
makes one a master of
themselves by strengthening their capability to assess
their own thoughts and ac-
tions to prepare a better approach to future situations.
If one then uses this process for broader applications,
they can become masters of
their own peripheral reality
through understanding. The
same historiographical process that one uses on oneself
can be applied to the entirety
of human history. It is this
aspect that elevates the historian (which any of us can be)
to the position of academic
mastery, a scholastic jack-ofall-trades. History, in relation
to the past, is the culmination
of all human thought and action. The entirety of human
experience is open ground
for investigation, and indeed
is necessary for a complete
understanding of why the
world is the way it is. Thus,
history entails every academic discipline in the human
intellectual arsenal. From
political science to chemistry, literature to cartography,
all is relevant and necessary
for a complete and thorough
study of the past. History is a
smorgasbord of knowledge,
a buffet of information, the
seven-layer dip of the intellectual diet. It makes one a
master of themselves as well
as the world around them.
Because of its profound potential for understanding
through application, history
puts the world in one's hands,
which is why I urge you to
consider majoring in history.

Tips for
successful
semesteretter
Talking yourself to b
comprehension
By Noelle Friedberg
Opinion Editor
With the start of another
semester comes the same
dream of good grades and
success in the classroom.
One sure-fire way to help
these dreams come to fruition is to talk about what
you're learning in class
outside of the classroom.
By this I mean that talking about the material you're
learning in any given class
outside of the classroom, be
it with friends, family, coworkers, etc., will help you
to do better in your classes.
Let's say you're in a marine biology class and you're
learning about coastal bluff
erosion. If you're not remembering all of the needed
information as well as you
would like, try explaining
how bluff erosion occurs to
someone who isn't in the
class with you. If no one
wants to listen to you talk
about it, try taking them to
the beach and explaining it to

Or perhaps you're in a history class and you're trying
to remember the specifics
of the American Civil War.
Talk with someone about it.
Explain the different battles
to them. Use your notes or
your textbook or whatever
you have to do to have a
conversation with someone
about the things that will
be on your test, or that you
have to write an essay about.
The reason I say all of this is
that talking about school outside of school does so much
to help you better remember
and understand the concepts
you need to know in order
to do well in your classes.
So next time you're feeling stuck in school or are
having a hard time remembering what you're learning, try talking with someone about what you've been
discussing and reading in
class and see if it doesn't
help you turn things around.

Ringing in the new year with "The Wedding Ringer"
By Lexy Perez
Assistant Entertainment Editor
It's a new year, which
means the next "bromanctic"
duo enters the movie theater
screens. This new duo hopes
to get a chuckle out of anyone willing to see a story
that has been told in previous films, but is the first one
to reinvent it for a new year.
Popular stand-up comedian
Kevin James and Josh Gad
(the man behind the voice of
Olaf in "Frozen") star in "The
Wedding Ringer," a film
about two guys that are nothing alike, yet find an unlikely
bond that screams "sappy,
bromance" level friendship.
Doug (Gad) is a lonely, yet
wealthy outcast failing to be
the "cool guy" every male
wants to be friends with.
Surprisingly enough, he is
about to marry his "miracle
girl," Gretchen (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting) but is faced
with a predicament of not
having a best man or a posse
of groomsmen to stand beside him on his wedding day.
Enter Jimmy (Hart), the
man behind Best Man
MOVIE
Inc., a business that allows lonely men, like
Doug, to rent-a-best-man
for their wedding days.
While most men simply
need a best man, Jimmy
is forced to attempt "The
Golden Tux" for Doug, in
which he must provide fullservice treatment: acquiring groomsmen, throwing
a bachelor party, making
speeches and creating stories
that convincingly portray
fake life-long friendships
with all of them. Jimmy not
only searches for a group
of eligible groomsmen, but
REVIEW
also must make them be
the "best friends" Doug has
always had and never introduced to his bride-to-be.
It's not that hard to assume what the rest of the
movie will play out: dysfunctional moments bonding
with Doug's future in-laws,
the introduction and bonding with his "best friends"
and nonstop comedic banter
and occurrences while Jimmy attempts to teach Doug
how to be the "cool guy" he
always dreamed of being.
A
bromance
movie
wouldn't be complete with-
out the deep, cheesy bonding moments that exemplify
a once client-businessman
relationship to a blossoming friendship that allows
both Doug and Jimmy to
grow as individuals. Doug
progresses into becoming
someone he feels happier
with, while Jimmy realizes the true importance and
meaning of his business and
himself as a "best man."
While the film is just another story to add to the
already list of "unlikely
duos becoming the best of
friends" films, it is both
Hart's and Gad's comedic wit that makes the film.
Throughout the film, it
seems as if Hart successfully
brings out the comedic chops
of Gad, for he is a newcomer
acting alongside an already
established comedian. While
a newcomer, Gad successfully brought out Hart's sweet
side, representing a deeper,
more relatable character.
This film will not only
bring you laughs, but it's
also another film that portrays two guys whom you
can't help but root for as they
become genuine best friends.

they didn't. Nope, they just
had to let the romance bloom.
The other majorly disappointing thing about this
movie was the ending, by

North County Arts
Network seeks aid
By Anne Hall
StaffWriter
This month, CSUSM
hosted the first of a series
of events by North County
Arts Network in an effort
to increase the amount of
resources and opportunities available to artists.
The North County Arts
Network (NCAN) group,
developed by the California
Arts Council and the San
Diego Board of Supervisors, introduced ideas for
the nurturing, expansion and
growth of artistic endeavors in San Diego County
and the State of California.
Their goal is to establish a
strong foundation for funding the art culture within
our region during 2015.
The meeting was on Jan.15
and hosted various representatives from all over San
Diego County, including
the California Center for the
Arts, Escondido, the North
Coast Repertory Theatre,
the Oceanside Museum of
Art, representatives of various school boards, teachers, artists and enthusiasts.
The North County Arts
Network hopes to gain momentum in finding individuals to help with marketing,
fundraising, brainstorming
implementation
techniques, and so much more.
"[It is a] collaborative movement to raise
the arts incorporation in
San Diego culture," said
Craig Watson, keynote
speaker and Director of the
California Arts Council.
Many of the spectators of
the evening's presentation
voiced their excitement for
the upcoming plans, including CSUSM's Community
Liaison, Marilyn Huerta.
If this movement becomes
a success, it could lead to a
great deal of possibilities for
our community. Focuses include (but are not limited to)
reincorporating the arts in
education, beautification of
San Diego communities, rehabilitation and art therapy.
If interested in helping the
cause, attend any or all of the
NCAN's future networking
events:

VIDEO GAME R E V I E W
d ragon Age: Inquisition"
Photo courtesy ofEA Games
By Will McCurdy
Assistant to the Editor-in-Chief
After Bioware finished
their "Knights of the Old Republic" series and making the
iconic space RPG "Mass Effect," they took the role playing genre back to its Tolkienbased roots, with "Dragon
Age" being the end result.
Although not a perfect
series in terms of mechanics and story, with its first
game, the series provided
an expansive world where
every choice mattered and
the lore of the game was
shown. However, it was
largely unexplored unless
goaded by player prerogative
and downloadable content.
The second game was less
than thrilling with the story
being much smaller than the
original, to the point where it
could be realistically beaten
in a long gaming session
without the side quests. Nonplayer characters (NPCs)
weren't all that developed
with the game making one
side against the invaders
who are honestly quite a bit
more reasonable than their
human and elven counterparts. The story was less immersive than the first and it
may as well have been called
"Dragon Age: Sequel Hook."
As a longtime fan of the
series, it is quite a bit to say
that the newest installment,
Inquisition, though odd, is
the best of the games that
has come out so far. The
base is fairly straightforward as after the destruction of a peace talk, the
main character is made the
game's version of "the chosen one" by virtue of being
in the right place and helped
out with a deus ex machina
right off the bat. Freedom
of race and class choice is
even more expansive than
in the first game with NPCs
coming back stronger than
ever, but one can get a tad
distracted witn tne new design that makes their skin
glisten like they just came
back from a charity run. In
addition to this, they make
the other races seem more
human with the once intimidating race of horned, gigantic Qunari appear to be cosplayers displaying character
romanticizing at its finest.
Rather than hold the player's hand even on easier difficulties, the game makes
itself a challenge with preplanned combat becoming
a necessity against foes that
may be weaker than the player one minute and kill the
entire party in one strike the
next with little room for error
as a human bandit group can
set up camp in rather dangerous proximity to a dragon
that breathes lightning. In
addition there's an element
of side quest delegation that
involves an almost bureaucratic element that newer
games seem to like including. While it adds a bit more
to the game by making some
missions considerably easier,
it also takes a considerable
amount of time depending
on the mission and thus if
not planned carefully can
end up being a mess where
the player gets caught in a
deadly situation with their
pants around their ankles.
Despite the flaws, "Dragon Age: Inquisition" is a
lovely edition to an already
fantastic franchise that
will require one to be immensely bored with it or
lose all of their appendages
before they stop playing.
COMIC BOOK CORNER
Bryan Lee O'Malley's new
graphic novel plays with chances
By Faith Orcino
Arts and Entertainment Editor
Creator of thé popular
"Scott Pilgrim" series, Bryan
Lee O'Malley published his
newest story, "Seconds," last
year. It focused on the brilliant
young Katie, the head chef
of local restaurant Seconds.
It has been four years since
her first day of work there
and she has been planning to
start up her own business in
another part of town. Things
have been in a stalemate but
tensions rise between Katie
and her co-workers the night
she sees her ex-boyfriend on
a date. Many things go wrong
and it ends with someone in
the hospital and some tears
being shed. That night, Katie
discovers a girl on her dresser and a mysterious box. The
contents of the box included
a magical mushroom and a
notebook labelled "My Mistakes". After testing it out,
she realizes she has been
given a second chance. Her
life becomes more interesting and more of the mushrooms appear in her dresser.
Little does she pay attention
to the strange girl's warning.

Unlike O'Malley's other
publications, he decided to
publish this in full color with
the help of colorist Nathan
Fairbairn. It was a necessary
element for this whimsical
tale. With every new twist,
the story spiraled down far
from reality. Still, Katie's
tale is one that many can
resonate with, hoping for
that second chance to rewrite history. The book is
available as a hardcover and
as a digital e-book. Whichever way you choose to read
it, "Seconds" is something
you can't read just once.

Roger Hedgecock Visits 'Pleasantville'
Leiana Naholowaa
Cynthia C. Woodward
A self-audit of Parking
Services conducted last spring
along with a crowded upper faculty lot (Lot E) reveal much
needed changes for CSUSM
parking this year. The first group
to feel these adjustments has
been the "Special Medical" students of Lot E. Parking Services
has changed their policy and will
only issue two-week permits for
students with minor injuries, for
example. For anything more than
two weeks, the student must have
their doctor's approval to obtain
a special or permanent permit
from the Department of Motor
Vehicles (DMV). "We used to
receive over 100 applications.
But since we changed our policy,
w e've only had about 8-10
requests," notes Robert Williams,
Parking Services Office
Manager. Both Williams and
Parking Coordinator Dora
Knoblock acknowledge that this
response indicates that there may
have been. some abuses of the
system in the past.
The Roger Hedgecock radio
program aired live from the
CSUSM Dome patio on
Wednesday, October 27, from 3
to 6 pm. Approximately 50 students, faculty, and staff members
gathered on the patio to listen to
and to take part in the 3-hour
broadcast. Roger Hedgecock,
KOGO AM 600 radio show host,
and former mayor of San Diego,
interviewed several notable people from the San Marcos campus
and community.
PRIDE EDITOR
Vendors for the university like
copy repair services do not pay
for the parking in the upper faculty/staff lot. The one exception,
Aztec Shops, will retain their
parking privileges in Lot E
because they are the only vendors
who do pay for parking permits.
Of the 16 teaching associates
on campus, 7 have faculty/staff
permits, 6 have student permits,
and 4 have none, as of Oct. 28. In
response to the recent GEW faculty parking grievances,
Knoblock noted, "If we extend
parking privileges in Lot E
towards the GEW faculty, we
would have to do the same for all
16 teaching associates, and not
just those seven." (Other research
by Parking Services points
directly to the State Controller iji
the Chancellor's Office where
teaching associates are not considered nor recognized as "faculty")
Williams and Knoblock also
spoke of the future of Parking
Services in terms of more lots.
Parking Services hopes to relieve
some of the strain by opening a
new lot behind Lot E by Fall
2000. The area behind .FCB will
hopefully be leveled, quarried
down by the aggregates company
to the level of the current upper
faculty lot.

Parking and the CSUSM Mission Statement.
I have no doubt that the group
of grad students who TEACH
GEW classes are in fact
TEACHers. The two letters to
the editors from GEW teachers
provide more than sufficient
evidence that they in fact teach.
However, I do not agree with the
logic used for stating that they
should have the ability to park in
the staff lot.
The logic given is that they
have a great deal of material to
carry, and should be able to park
closer to their classes* so they do
not have to carry their heavy
load very far. If this is the reason for having special parking
privileges; permits to the upper
parking lot should be given out
by backpack weight, not status
as a teacher or student.
Furthermore, as teachers, they
have access to offices, where
they may leave their belongings
and class materials, significantly
reducing the amount that they
must carry; students do not have
that luxury, which suggests that
students should have the upper
lot, and teachers should be relegated to the furthest parking
spaces. Certainly as college
teachers they are smart enough
to figure how to manage the
loads they must carry through;
multiple trips to their car, using
a luggage cart like many students have already figured out to
do, or using their office as storage units, and the staging
grounds for preparing for class
that they are intended to be.
Clearly the reason for separate parking for staff and students is not due to the distance
from parking lot to classroom or
the weight of class materials,
but to provide faculty and staff
with special privilege and status
not afforded to students. This is
in direct violation of CSUSM's
mission statement
(http://www.csusm.edu
DEAR EDITORS:
DEAR EDITORS:
/mission statement.html).
The mission statement states,
"CSU, San Marcos promotes a
collegia! relationship between
students and faculty. . The
word collegial means to be
"characterized by equal sharing
of authority" and the separation
of students and staff into the
privileged and unprivileged in
terms of something as simple as
parking contributes to inequality
and therefore an unequal relationship.
Either the parking lots at
CSUSM should be open to
everyone regardless of their status as student, staff, faculty, visitor; or the mission statement
should be revised to reflect the
administration's preferential
treatment of staff, rather than the
students for which the campus
exists to serve.

Gonzalez for President
Alexander Gonzalez has what
it takes to be President of the
United States.
As reported by Samantha
Cahill in The Pride's October 18th
issue; Gonzalez, on October 11th,
indicated that it could not be
determined if the vandalism of
Science Hall was aimed at the
poster of Che Guevara. Then
when questioned further, he stated
that he did not know if the paint
and egg would have been on the
building had the poster not been
there. Gonzalez is right, there is
no way for him to know if the
vandalism of Science Hall was
related to the poster being there,
or if it simply was a coincidence
that the poster was there when the
vandalism took place, in the location the vandalism took place.
Furthermore the fact that a poster
of a man who represents an
unpopular and hated ideology was
vandalized at the same time as
Science Hall does not necessarily
.mean that the poster was the cause
of the vandalism. It simply may
have been in the way of the
intended vandalism, and it is a
coincidence that the vandalism
took place on a part of the building where there was a poster
hanging.
Gonzalez clearly has demonstrated the ability to be technically
accurate when questioned about
controversial current events, just
as Bill Clinton did when questioned by Kenneth Starr in regards
to his relationship with Monica
Lewinsky. Bill Clinton's popularity has increased since that event,
and I 'm sure that Gonzalez would
be at least as successful and popular given his similarities to
President Clinton. Gonzalez in

CSUSM's runners, both the
men and women's cross-country
teams, are doing wonderfully this
year. There are about fifty members between the cross-country
teams and track combined, and
their ages range from 17 to 26.
The team is guided by Head
coach Steve Scott, CrossCountry coach Joe Keating, and
Track coach Wess Williams.
Only in its first year of existence, CSUSM has the best college track and cross-country
teams in San Diego County,
according to Scott. At the recent
Stanford Invite, the women's
team finished 15 out of 31
schools, and the men finished 8
out of 25. Scott commented:
"there was a lot of competition
there, and it was a difficult
course. There were a lot of top^
teams competing." Right now,
CSUSM is ranked 13 in NAIA

It all started at the charging bull.
On Sept. 17, a few protesters
stood in front of the symbolic bull
at the center of New York's financial district saying they represent
the "99 percent," a reference to
the one percent of the U.S. population that controls 40 percent of
the country's wealth. Since then,

Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM recently adopted safety precautions for students, such
as emailing and calling services,
alerting students technologically
if their lives are in danger.
Since the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University
massacre on April 16,2007, when
a single student killed 32 people and injured 25 others, safety
regulations for college campuses
nationwide have updated their
emergency response notification
services. Since the massacre,
colleges and universities have
adopted notification services to
alert students in the event of their
endangerment.
Emergencies continued page 2.
Volume XXXVIII
the "99 percent" movement has
spread to 70 cities worldwide including San Diego, where protestors hold cardboard signs blaming banks and corporations for
their nations' financial woes.
In San Diego, signs are not being waved in the air and chants 6f
"occupy Wall S treet... all day . ..
all week" do not echo through the
streets. There are only a few dozen protesters gathered in two locations—downtown's San Diego
Civic Center Plaza and in Balboa
Park. In North County, protestors
gathered Oct. 28 and Nov. 4 for
marches at the Oceanside Pier.
At Cal State San Marcos,.an Occupation Hour took place Oct.
20 in Library Plaza and flyers
displayed in the Dome cafeteria
say "We are the 99 percent" and
"This revolution will not be pri-
Emergency
vatized."
Civic Center Plaza is the central hub of the Occupy San Diego
movement. One afternoon last
month, about 20 people eating
hot dogs and sleeping on blankets
were gathered, some speaking
into a microphone that America is
a "rich are getting richer, poor are
getting poorer" society. On Oct.
28, police forced protestors out
of the plaza, though some have
returned sporadically. Protestors
in other cities have demonstrated
stronger resistance to police relocation and removal.
Among last month's protestors were Phil Lopez and Robert
Unger, union faculty members at
Southwestern College in Chula
Vista, who said that students and
teachers fall into the 99 percent.
Protests continued page 3.

Energy drinks are a source of
energy f or most of us students
these days, but are not regulated
by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Most energy drinks contain a
mixture of caffeine, sugar, taurine, guarana, cola nut and B vitamins. These mixed components
can cause heart palpitations, increased heart rate and blood pressure and dehydration.
"The moderate dose of caffeine per day is 250mg which is
the equivalent to three cups of
coffee," Dr. Michelle Barrack, a
professor in the Kinesiology department, said.
In 1994, Congress enacted the
Dietary Supplement Health and
Education Act, which enabled
any company to be unregulated
by the FDA.
"What is in the energy drinks is
[sic] reacting with your body in a
physiological way," Kaitlyn Siewart, a CSUSM alumnus with a
Bachelor's of Science in Kinesiology, said.
Some people use energy drinks
as a boost for athletic performance.
"If you are an athlete, they
probably improve performance
in moderate to intense exercise...
If you are a regular or average
individual, benefits are probably
less...this has just as much to
do with the fact that most physi-
cal activity they [sic] do does
not merit energy drinks or supplement use, and that research is
sparse in less trained persons...,"
Dr. Todd Astorino of the Kinesiology Department said.
But energy drinks are beneficial
to athletic performance.
"We don't want to show that
caffeine is bad for exercise. Caffeine within the limits of caffeine
intake can be productive and
safe," Dr. Barrack said.
Students felt the same.
"I used to drink an energy drink
before gym session, but after a
while you're left off with stomach
cramps and a useless sugar rush,"

With the help of companies like groupon.
com and dailydeals.com, internet users
have been able to receive financial benefits
in their local communities during the present economic decline.
Neighborhoodlnc., a company with the
same offerings of coupons and daily deals
as well as other features, including job services, is developing with an ultimate "people helping people" mission statement: of
the money that comes into the company,
a percentage goes back to community
schools and charities.
According to www.neighborhoodinc.org,
"[20-50 percent] of membership fees go
back to their local schools." While it is free
for the Basic Membership and the Charity
& Non-Profit Membership, the annual Deluxe Membership is listed at $249 and the
annual Premium Membership is listed at
$499 meaning with every Deluxe and Premium Membership, 20 - 50 percent will be
given back to schools.
When it comes to Community Deals,
"Our daily coupon site gives 10 percent of
net proceeds back to schools [and] charities, a percentage of our yearly net-profit
will be given back to the community."
Neighborhoodlnc. also offers job services, a work placement program system
headed by a staff of recruiters. Through this
service, each placement will be followed
up with the "Cash Referral & Charity Bonus Program" which gives back a cash referral to the person who assisted in finding
a member's j ob, as well as a bonus towards
any non-profit charity.
The company also provides users of
the site with Local Community Calendar.
"[The] community calendar offers free advertising for all non-profit organizations so
you can connect and
support their e vent"
Nick Bandejas, founder of Neighborhoodlnc., left the corporate world to start
the company, which grew from a series of
developments originating from giving back
to charities to giving back to charities and
the community.
Bandejas decided to develop the company with a socialistic approach. "[Neighborhoodlnc.] is not just a marketing company,
it's a neighborhood company. We help people find jobs and save money," Bandejas
said.
Bandejas went on to say that through offering lower costs to businesses, money is
given to schools and charities strengthening the company's other services which
leads to more money, creating the first truly
"green" economy. "The ultimate goal is for
Neighborhoodlnc. to come full circle as a
self-generating cycle. [It will] ultimately be
a goodwill network through loyalty."

CSUSM's Community Mid
World Literary Series (CWLS)
featured authors Amina Cain and
Tisa Bryant reading their works
on the night of Oct. 27.
Prior to the CWLS event, Cain
and Bryant joined Professor
Sandra Doller's creative writing
workshop course for an hour-long
private panel.
Doller assigned students Cain's
book "I Go to Some Hollow"
and Bryant's book "Unexplained
Presence."
By taking part in this intimate
Q&A panel, the class gained insight into the authors' experiences
regarding such topics as authorial
research, the publishing process,
small-press publishing and personal experiences in workshop
settings.
Shortly after 7 p.m., Dr. Mark
Wallace introduced Bryant as a
brave risk-taker in her writing—-
her risks both bold and subtle.
Bryant told the audience how
happy she was to be reading. "It's
like a little vacation out of L.A.,"
she said. After, she read her short
story "Under Cover of Darkness"
from her book "Unexplained
Presence."
During her reading of the text,
Bryant paused to refer to the inter-textuality of the classic film
"The Women" mentioned in the
story. She acknowledged her vocal reference as a type of intertextuality.
She followed "Under Cover of
Darkness" with an excerpt f rom
her manuscript called "The Curator."
Wallace introduced Cain and
her collection of short stories,
which touched on issues of sensitivity and loneliness.
First, Cain read her short story
"Ugly Things." She followed
with a reading of "Two-Dimensional War" from her book "I Go
to Some Hollow."
After the readings, the authors

Bryant and Cain's readings and

with Bryant's insight into her
work and Cain's voice complimenting her text.

of these events- being held at

Occupy Wall Street brings to
mind three things: protest, politics, and pepper spray. I could
have included police brutality in
that list, but I couldn't think of
a synonym for "brutality" that
started with a P.
Anyway, Occupy Wall Street is
indeed the sticky-sweet topic of
choice on every American's lips
right now, especially considering the movement's expansion to
downtown San Diego.
The Civic Center lay empty in
the early hours of Oct. 28 after
San Diego police took 51 campers into custody for a variety of
charges—unsanitary conditions
damaging city property, illegal
lodging, encroachment and curfew violations—according to the
Union Tribune.
The journalist writing the Tribune article interviewed many protesters, but only one of them—the
event organizer—directly commented on the purpose of the
evening's sit-in: they were protesting a plan to spend $200 billion over the next 40 years on
transportation projects.
Occupy Wall Street's origins
have little to do with California
building projects. In fact, every
"Occupy" incarnation has a different aim. While the majority of
its related demonstrations have
something to do with American
finances (thus the use of the 99
percent versus the one percent
idea), there is no collective objective that occupiers can name.
I have little faith in a nationwide movement operating under
a shared name that can't explain
what a successful result of said
movement would be. Sure, protesters want less corporate fingers
Pride Staff Writer
in their pockets, but there is a way
protesters could have prevented
that in the first place: by having a
bit of foresight.
A lot of civil unrest is directly
related to banks offering loans to
people who can't make the payments—quite reflective of the
Californian foreclosure disaster a
few years ago. It was stupid for
banks to offer $500,000 home
loans to people making a $30,000
a year salary. It was equally stupid for people making $30,000 a
year to take a loan of that size to
pay an epically large mortgage.
Likewise, it is stupid for students to take out loans to go to
college if paying it back is not
something feasible within the
next couple of years. However,
many occupiers cite the difficulty
of paying back student loans as
one of the many items to protest.
If occupiers really want to shake
up the system, they need to pull
their money out of the banks that
have done them wrong. Loans are
the lifeblood of banking; without
them, the banks will have to find
another way to survive. Living
outside of your means, as many
Americans tend to do, will bite
back faster than you can hang up
on a collections call. Take this opportunity to fight the one percent
with what they love most: your
money.
At any rate, the irony of Occupy
Wall Street exists in the youth of
the nation passing along information about sit-ins through Facebook and iPhones. As much as
people are protesting the system,
they have to realize that their actions keep them comfortably tethered to it.
Christmas comes early this year
with "A Very Harold & Kumar
3D Christmas." The result is a f un
Christmas film that also acts as a
loyal sequel to its film series.
This time around, stoner buddies Harold and Kumar (John
Cho and Kal Penh, respectively)
are back several years after the
incidents from the previous films
"Harold & Kumar Go to White
Castle" and "Harold & Kumar
Escape from Guantanamo Bay."
They each live their separate
lives, Harold a successful married
man and Kumar still the same old
Kumar, but depressed over his
recent break-up. A mysterious
present arrives for Harold at Kumar's apartment which reunites
the old friends for a Christmas
Eve of outrageous events.
This entry in the
"Harold & Kumar"
series surpasses the
second film in entertainment value and
humor and comes
close to the original.
With an abundance
of the series' conventional racial stereotyping, drug use
and absurd plot development, the film
remains consistent to
its predecessors.
Some of the humor
is very tongue-incheek, as Harold is
referred to as Sulu
(Cho's character in
the most recent "Star
Trek" film) and Kumar is told from a
friend that if anyone
asks, he works at the
White House (which
Penn did in between the second
and third films of the series).
Neil Patrick Harris's return
to the series is something to be
enjoyed with his real-life partner David Burtka as a married
straight father who is paid to act
as Harris's lover in order to widen
Harris's appeal. Burtka's cameo,
which is even shorter than Harris's, is one of the funniest parts.
The 3D presentation of the film
may be a more rewarding experience for viewers with the technology manipulated and played up
for humorous effect. Also, several
references to 3D technology play
their part in execution, as well.
If you enjoyed the first two
"Harold & Kumar" films, y ou're
sure to like this one. If zany,
over-the-top, offensive comedies
aren't your preference, you might
want to pass.

�Book Review: " Never Let M e G o " by Kazuo Ishiguro
Alternate reality novel embraces readers
Kyle M. Johnson
Tales from the Nerd Sid
Joining the cult: Former
revisited in cult c lassic
Chris Giancamilli
Pride Staff Writer
It is a shame when g ood movies don't find success with
a wide audience. Though some films struggle in mainstream theaters, select few h ave the potential to become what are known as "cult classic" films. These cult
classics are often successful in home media sales years
after their initial release. It is difficult to narrow the field
as there are so many forgotten classics, but here a re my
top four cult classic films to b e enjoyed.
Pride Staff Writer
In Kazuo Ishiguro's novel
"Never Let Me Go," readers are
invited into the unfamiliar society
at Hailsham boarding school. In
three parts, the story chronicles
the protagonist Kathy's experiences from the point of being a
child at the mysterious Hailsham,
until her young adult years in the
life which she and her fellow students were born into and prepared
for as part of their education.
It is difficult to tell much of the
plot without giving away any details that may spoil elements of
the novel. However, Ishiguro's
story is exceptionally well-crafted. Through Kathy's narration,
Ishiguro speaks about this world
he has created very casually and
very matter-of-factly as if it is a
society readers would already be
familiar with. In its telling of an
unknown society set in the 1990s,
"Never Let Me Go" is a type of
modern science-fiction novel.
Kathy is accompanied through
much of the novel by her friends
Tommy and Ruth who all three
develop into a love triangle as
they grow up. Through their companionship, they set out to uncover the mysteries of the school
in their education, lifestyle expectations and mysterious rumors of
ways to avoid their predestined
duties. However, their curiosity
often leads to shocking findings.
While elegantly written, the
narration might discourage read-
The B/g LebowsM ^
The Dude's best friends Walter a nd
Donny. As he becomes further entangled in a w eb of
deceit, The Dude encounters many absurd a nd strange
characters who provide him conflicting sides of the same
story.
••••••jl
ers due to the readers' unfamiliarity with many of the references
made to the world in which the
characters inhabit. Be reassured,
though, because all uncertainties
belonging to the reader, as well as
the characters, are answered. By
the end of the novel, the world
for the students of Hailsham, as
well as other boarding schools
founded with the same mission
statement, will be made known to
readers.
"Never Let Me Go" is one of the
most beautiful, rewarding novels
in recent literary history. It offers
all elements of a great novel as it
touches on such themes as friendship, purpose, love and loyalty.
This novel is very deserving—it
deserves to be read and readers
deserve to have read it.
" Once U pon A Time"
ABC d r a m a p rimed t o c h a r m a udiences
Rebekah Green
Pride Staff Writer
ABC's new show "Once Upon
A Time" premiered Sunday, Oct.
23 at 8 p.m. This new fantasy
series takes the memorable fairy
tales and fables of childhood,
like Snow White, Pinocchio and
more, and transports them to reality.
The evil queen threatens Snow
White and Prince Charming during their wedding. While visiting
the imprisoned Rumplestiltskin,
Snow White discovers that a horrible curse will be placed upon
her family, and only her daughter Emma, upon her 28 birthday,
will be able to stop the queen. On
the very day of Emma's birth, the
^^^^^
curse takes hold of the kingdom,
and although she is placed safely
inside a magic wardrobe, she
along with the other characters of
the kingdom are inevitably transported to a place devoid of happiness - our world.
28-year-old Emma Swan works
as a bail bondsman, and while her
demeanor is tough, she carries
loneliness within her. But all of
that changes when a boy named
Henry arrives claiming to be her
son and seeks her assistance in
taking him back home to Storybrooke, Maine. All the while, he
asserts that the stories existing-in
his fairy tale book are real and that
the citizens of Storybrooke are
these same f a i r y tale characters
trapped in the-real world with no
memory of their magical selves.
While Emma remains logically
skeptical of his words, Henry's
claims prove to have truth.
Fans of the film "Enchanted"
and Hallmark's miniseries "The
10th Kingdom" are sure to find
some aspects that border the familiar but still deliver an interesting take on the fairy tale world.
The pilot contained a lot of information, yet it was nothing difficult to follow. Rather, it set up
various situations that will keep
viewers curious as to what will
happen next.
There is a reason fairy tales
never grow old, and with "Once
Upon A Time," the tradition of
building upon classic stories is
sure to continue thriving. "Once
Upon A Time" airs Sunday nights
at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Dawn breaks with fourth film installment of "Twilight" saga
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
November marks the
beginning of the end of
the cultural phenomenon:
"Twilight."
"Breaking
Dawn Part 1" will answer
the question w e've all been
dying to learn: does Edward
turn Bella into a vampire?
' Twilight" has certainly
made an impact on our
generation, regardless of
the f ans' genders, with the
addictive story line of a
human falling in love with
a vampire. The first of the
series introduced Bella, an
average girl who moved to
Forks, Washington to live
with her father. She soon
fell in love with the youngest member of the local
vampire coven named Edward. This love immediately put her life in danger.
The sequel, "New Moon,"
separated Bella and Edward, which put Bella into
a deep depression. Upon realizing if she put her life in
danger, she could feel Edward with her, she decided
to be reckless. When Edward's sister, Alice, had a
vision of Bella jumping off
of a cliff—apparently committing suicide—Edward
decided he could no longer
exist without her. It was
then h e decided to end his
life by exposing himself as
a vampire when the Volturi,
the largest and most powerful coven of vampires,
refused to grant his wish of
being destroyed, leaving it
up to Bella to prove that she
was still alive.
The third in the series,
titled "Eclipse," brings
Bella's number one enemy,
Victoria, back to kill her in
revenge f or Edward killing
Victoria's partner.
The last book in the series, "Breaking Dawn,"
puts Bella in the biggest
predicament of her l ife.
A fter her wedding, Edward
impregnates Bella. Since
the child i s half-human,
half-vampire, the developmental process f or the
baby is extremely fast and
if Bella continues with the
pregnancy, she will die.
This November will
bring answers to those who
have yet to finish the saga.
"Breaking Dawn Part 1"
will be in theatres Nov. 18,
2011.

In early October 2011, "Arrested Development" fans received
the news they have been waiting
for. "Arrested Development" tells
the lives of the Bluth family who
all have their own set of problems, all while they try to keep
the family life afloat. Actors that
play such characters include Ja-
son Bateman, Michael Cera and
Will Arnett. According to the New York
Times, creator Mitchell Hurwitz
and the main cast showed up at
the New Yorker Festival to tell
people that both an "Arrested
Development" movie and small
TV season were in the works,
which may begin next summer.
The Fox sitcom lasted f or three
seasons with 53 episodes total. It
has many devoted f ans, but their
love f or the show was not able to
improve its low ratings. Since its
absence, f ans used petitions and
protests signs, such as the infamous "Bring "Arrested Development" B ack" sign, to plead f or
their beloved show. Now, they no
longer need to worry and hopefully f ans will once again be able
to watch the Bluth family chicken

The power of RAD
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
* Pride Staff Writer
Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 18, our
University Police Department will host
the first of three Rape Aggression Defense
or RAD sessions for women. Each session
promises women easy to learn self-defense
tactics as a method of rape prevention.
According to CSUSM student Lisa Lim,
the RAD class has proven to reach beyond
that goal. Last year Lim participated in
the RAD program. She was worried that
she wasn't physically equipped and before
the class began she asked herself, "Will I
be strong enough?" The relevance of body
size and physical strength, however, are
trumped by the reality based effectiveness
of the techniques that women learn during
class sessions. By the end of the course
Lim fought off people dressed in aggressor suits, with her eyes closed. Lim says,
"The i nductor is so positive and encouraging thlS it's easier to feel empowered
and it's a lot easier to go through."
Officer Yosaren Panza is one of the
instructors of the RAD course; others
also include Casey Burns, Sarah Derho
and Cathy Nguyen. Officer Panza has

�What you should know about sax;
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
"How many partners is too
many?" This question was one
of many asked by €SUSM students last Monday, October 9, at
an event made possible by the
Women's Center. Linda Savage, a
certified sex educator, sex therapist and author joked, "One." The
crowd of fifty broke out in laughter; Savage laughed then said,
"If you honor and respect yourself, there is no such thing as too
many."
Before Savage collected anonymous questions on index cards
from students, she set out to
empower men and women to
enjoy pleasure as a God-given
right that should not be dictated
by anyone else.
"Our sexuality is energy,"
Savage said, stressing what she
called a readiness factor that
includes the mental, physical, and
emotional aspects that factor into
having sex. As Savage said, "We
are sold an image which isn't true
and it is an image how to have
'hot sex.' It's the culture we live
in; it's what we are socialized to
[believe]." It's an idea Savage disagrees with, the idea that sex is all
about having an orgasm. "There's
so much more to be experienced
than just, quick, let's get off."
Savage went on to explain her
performance and pleasure model.
She asked the crowd about the
movies and television they've
seen with all the 'hot sex.' Then
she said that the majority of sex
seen in the movies is based on the
performance model and people
can reflect what they've seen and
worry too much about just having
an orgasm instead of having sex
for pleasure. "In their heads, they
are too worried about the experience and making their partner
happy and focusing too much on
genitals."

After passing out flyers to the
crowd, Savage read each myth
then gave tips for everyone on
how to have a healthy sexual
relationship with their partners.
This advicç included communication, throwing away the performance model and focusing
on pleasure, creating a seductive
setting together, letting go of preconceived notions and listening
to your partner.
In all her years of experience
as a sexual therapist, Savage
said, "The number one role problem is over focus on partner." As
for desire discrepancy, she said,
"It is the number one problem
in couple relationships." Myth
number four states; "It's easy to
tell who has more désire and who
has less desire in a relationship."
Savage stressed, "Low desire is

"Don't listen to Oprah." The

another student asked. Savage

someone to tell you what to do."
This led to her advice for virgins.
"If any one of you remains a
virgin until marriage, I wouldn't
even suggest having intercourse
that night. Just petting and touching each other." She ended her
speech by promoting safe sex to
everyone, and said, "To touch, to
love, that is sex. You don't have to
have an orgasm."

What law school ought to be!
�How to get your foot in tho door at law schoo
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
If you're applying for law school for
2007, this time of year may be the most
important part of your academic career.
You're entering or finishing your senior
year, and these last grades before graduation will be most heavily scrutinized by
law schools. While applications for law
schools aren't due for a few months (application deadlines generally fall between
January 1 and March 31), admissions officers and successful applicants know that
by mid-October you should be well into
the admissions process.
"If you want to get accepted to a law
school, make sure you've sent your application in before Thanksgiving," is the conventional wisdom for applying to most law
schools. Some even claim that Thanksgiving is too late and that late October is
when law school applications should be
submitted. Unfortunately, in order to have
your Law School Admissions Test (LSAT)
score delivered before November, you need
to have already taken the test. So if you
haven't taken it yet, you'll most likely be
looking at a 2008 admission date. If this is
the case, starting now will help out greatly
for next fall. For this year's applicants
though, it's almost certain that completing
your application as soon as possible will
help enormously.
Most law schools have rolling admissions, meaning that your application is
evaluated as soon as they get it. In these
cases they will fill available spaces for the
coming year as they read through applications, meaning that if your application
isn't in early, it won't even be considered.
But even at schools that do not have rolling
admissions, applying early will often be in
your best interest. Admissions officers will
sometimes assume students who apply
early have a more serious interest in ¿heir
school and give their applications more
consideration. This competitive edge can
mean the difference between getting an
acceptance or a rejection letter. Still, just
filling out die forms on time is not the only
consideration. There are a few things that
can keep even well-meaning and punctual
applicants from getting their applications

school (including study abroad programs,
summer courses, or transfer institutions),
all of those records need to be sent to the
LSAC as well as the ones from your alma
mater. Admissions offices are also often
overloaded with requests from other
students during application periods, so
starting the process early is imperative
to being successful. Be aware that some
schools require you to fax in your request
for transcripts or even request transcripts in person, so transcripts should
be requested at least a month in advance
if possible, to avoid potential problems
and delays. At the same time, applicants
should be working on gathering their letters of recommendation.
It comes as a surprise to some students,
but they aren't the only people who procrastinate; bosses, professors and advisors
do it too. This means that it is both polite
and prudent to give those you ask for letters of recommendations at least a month
to write them. Applicants should also give
those writing their letters a clear idea of
when the letter needs to be completed and
sent to the LSAC. It also doesn't hurt to
politely remind them about writing your
letter of recommendation every so often,
to keep it fresh i n their minds.
As the saying goes, "timing is everything." If you're behind in applying, there's
still time to get things done in time, but
it will require a little extra effort to catch
up. And for those that don't think they'll
be able to get their applications done in

before next October.
in on time: letters of recommendation and
transcripts.
Almost every law school requires that
your LSAT scores, letters of recommendation and transcripts be sent to them by the
Law School Admission Council (LSAC).
While you may be prompt about filling out
and submitting forms on time these two
items require you to convince others into
working inside your deadlines.
Compiling undergraduate transcripts
can be a surprisingly time consuming
task. Applicants should never underestimate the sluggishness of educational
bureaucracies, and should plan accordingly. If you attended more than one

wasn't the only Cougar to have
a good day. Scott Conway and
Arek Legarra posted solid rounds
of 73, and Kyle Kelch and Mike
Leonard shot 75. By the end of
round one, Cal State San Marcos'
team score of 286 gave them a
healthy 8-shot lead over the field.
Unfortunately, while the Cougars' first round was the best of
the tournament by any team, their
second was the worst. All five
golfers scored higher than in the
previous day, including Anderson
following up his 65 with a disappointing 80. As a team, the Cougars' took 28 more strokes to get
around the course in the second

round, shooting 314.
Day three proved a little better,
but CSUSM's score of 307 was
not enough to get them back in
contention. Scott Conway was
able to turn it around through,
matching his first round score of
73. His combined score of 223
earned him a tie for fifth in the
tournament.
The team ended up in fourth,
18 strokes behind winners Point
Loma Nazarene University.
PLNU won the tournament by
just one stroke over Concordia
University, and finished four
ahead of Cal Baptist The Cougars did manage to finish ahead
of CSU East Bay by 11 strokes.
Despite the disappointment of
losing the lead, the men's team
should continue to improve
throughout the fall and turn into a
major contender by spring. Helping the cause will be the returns
of Casey Sartori, Clint McCook,
and Matthew Determan, who are
all expected to be playing either
later this fall or in the spring.
The team will next be in action
on October 22, at Sonoma State
University. It is one of two tournaments remaining in the fall
schedule, after which the squad
will not compete again until February.

Junior
Campus Police Team raises over $2,000 for MADD
AMANDA RUTHERFORD
Pride Staff Writer
A special event occurred Saturday, September 24, in San Diego
County. The event was the San
Diego County fundraising walk,
"Strides for Change." California State University San Marcos'
very own campus police were
there and raised $ 2,230 for the
Mothers Against Drunk Driving
(MADD) Oranization. Moreover,
the campus police placed first
in the Academic category at the
fundraiser.
The CSUSM police team
is made up of S. Brown, Tina
Griffith, Douglass Miller, Deb
Schmidt, and Shelley Wicka.
Their participation was not only a
great contribution to MADD, but
the commitment our police team
displayed at the fundraiser also
supports the CSUSM Police's
mission to "build partnerships
with surrounding communities,
[and] to promote the University's goals and mission." CSUSM
Police Department went above
and beyond this year, and was
able to raise an incredible amount
of proceeds, exceeding their initial goal of $1,700. The police
team is a perfect example of what
a few people can do when they
work together. The campus police
in coordination with MADD hope
to raise awareness and educate the
public, especially students, about
not drinking and driving.
A few tips from MADD if you
do plan on drinking: "If you plan
to drink, choose a designated
driver before going out " Two,
"take mass transit, a taxicab, or
ask a sober friend to drive you
home." Lastly, two tigs that go
hand in hand: "report an impaired
driver if you notice' one," and
"always buckle up; it can save
your life."
Founded 25 years ago, MADD
is a non-profit organization with
over 600 chapters nationwide.
MADD is not against alcohol
consumption, but MADD's mission is to "stop drunk driving,
support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage
drinking."
Congratulations to our campus
police here at CSUSM and their
dedication in raising $2,230 for
MADD and their cause. Hopefully their appreciated efforts will
continue into the future, supporting other worthy organizations.
If anyone wishes to volunteer for "Strides for Change,"
the fundraiser's website, www.
stridesforchange.org, is the optimal place to learn more" information about the walk and about
MADD. Furthermore, MADD's
website: www.madd.org offers indepth information on the MADD
organization.

The Kite Runner: Campus Read
stimulates conversation
BY SABRINA BAGLEY
Pride Staff Writer
In his book, "The Books In My
Life," Henry Miller writes: "A book
is not only a friend, it makes friends
for you. When you have possessed a
book with mind and spirit, you are
enriched. But when you pass it
on you are enriched threefold."
Recently, CSUSM has implemented a program with that
ilk of enrichment in mind. In
starting the Campus Read program, it is hoped that readers
will form a bond via selected
literature. As a result, the formation of the open forum is
helping to facilitate discussion
between many different groups
on campus. Sponsored by the
American Democracy Project, it is anticipated that book
discussions and the sharing of
opinions and ideas about this
culturally significant novel will
abound between students; faculty,
and staff.
Fall 2006 s selected reading was
"The Kite Runner.": The author,
Khaled Hosseini, was born in Kabul,
Afghanistan in 1965. This semiM
M
?
autobiographical novel tells the
story of Amir, an Afghan boy from a
wealthy family. The story focuses on
the impact a single decision can have
on one's life. As a child, just before
his family moves from Afghanistan,
Amir witnesses his friend be brutally raped. Rather than intervene
eventually ends up composing his
own story. Later, Amir returns to
Taliban controlled Kabul to find
his half-brother. He finds him to
be the sexual slave of a Taliban
executioner, who also happens
to be the same man who raped
his friend. He fights to free his
• brother, and they escape back
to the United States. While
the young man possesses a
fragile emotional state, his
rescue helps Amir to resolve
his deep-seeded guilt.
This book has gained world-,
wide fame, and locally, was
also chosen as Escondido's
City Read. It serves as a vehicle for discussion about the
historical and cultural issues
as presented by Hosseini.

I am sure you have heard by now as the other two, but he was wellof Cory Lidle's plane crash into a liked, and had to work hard to

The New York Yankees pitcher In 1994, Lidle was a "scab"
was not a very experienced pilot player during the 1994 MLB playand it was not a good day for flying er's strike. He was one of the most
successful replacement players,
along with Kevin Millar. It took a
long time for the MLB community
to accept him, but he was a good
teammate and eventually won
over the people he played with.
After tragic things like this, I
begin to wonder about the things
that led to the incident. I play the
what-if game, even though I probably shouldn't.
Lidle was traded from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Yankees at
the trading deadline. He brought
his plane from his home in Florida up'to New Jersey when he was
. traded. Ifhe was never traded from
the Phillies to the Yankees, would
this have happened? I don't think
so, since his off-season would
have already begun about two
weeks prior, and he likely would
have already been in Florida. Of
course, this could have happened
anywhere.
I also wonder, had he not been
a pro athlete, would he have had
such an expensive hobby. He purchased his small four-seat plane
for 187,000 thousand dollars.
Many athletes take up golf or buy
a business to keep them busy in
the off-season, but athletes now
are beginning to play with more
expensive things, like their lives.
Remember Ben Roethlisberger,
Kellen Winslow Jr., Jay Williams, and their motorcycle accidents? Fortunately, those guys
weie all lucky to live through
their accidents and return to their
sports.
Anyone who flies a plane
always says that you're safer in a
plane than in your own car driving on the freeway. That may be
true, however, why put .yourself in
a situation that you don't need to
be in? It's nearly essential to drive
a t ar, but it isn't essential toflya
plane for hobby, especially when
you have so much to lose.
For a little perspective, here is
the most remarkable story I heard
on the day of the accident It came
from Alan Schwarz, a senior
writer from "Baseball America."
A week before the accident, Lidle
invited Schwarz for aflightin his
plane. Schwarz always wanted to
fly in one of the planes that Lidle
owned, but he declined the invite
because he and his wife just had a
newborn baby and knew it could
be a dangerous situation.
Lidle was 34 years old, had a
wife and child. Unfortunately,
this is what it took for the sports
media to stop talking about Terrell Owens, and Alex Rodriguez'
postseason struggles.
I love to hear comments. They
can be sent to Sando026@csusm.

Series showcased Harold Jaffe at CSUSM
for the first time on Thursday, October 14

in the Clarke Field House in the Grand
Salon.
Jaffe has authored 13 books and a collection of essays. For his performance at
CSUSM, Jaffe chose five narratives: "Panther," "Salaam," "Things to do During
Time of War,". "Potlatch," and "Monk and
Suicide Bomber."
"I hoped the [readings] would constitute an informative and even pleasurable
grouping," said Jaffe.
Each narrative lasted approximately ten
minutes. The entire performance lasted
almost one hour. Jaffe read most of the
material. Mark Wallace, who has been
an assistant professor at CSUSM for two
years, read major parts as well. Two other
female performers read briefly during
"Salaam."
Travas Rivas, majoring in Literature and
Writing and graduating Spring 2008, said
he was "absolutely" satisfied with Jaffe's
performance. "His reading [brought] a different perspective and understanding you
can't get out by reading his pieces," said
Rivas.
Patrick Ayson supplied music throughout the entire performance which provided
a background to the readings. The music
really enhanced the performance.
"Patrick and I got together and did a
little experimenting. I wanted to let Patrick
do what he wanted to add a chance vector,"
explained Jaffe after the performance.
"Patrick is a really fine young keyboard
player and sound technician, and I think
people will be hearing more about him as
time goes on," said Wallace.
I enjoyed "Panther" the most, the first
narrative read solely by Jaffe. In this narrative, Jaffe explains his transition from a
panther to a human. Jaffe wore black jeans,
a black dress shirt with rolled up sleeves
to his biceps, a pair of black-tinted sun
glasses, an almost evil-looking full beard,
and to complete the ensemble he wore two
black leather gloves on each hand.
The content w is very intriguing. He
describes the surgery required to conceal
his true identity as a panther and how he
has to keep himself from jumping over the
podium and savaging the audience because
he still is a panther on the inside,
I was almost scared to a certain extent. I
felt myself being attracted to another world
out of the Grand Salon in the Clarke Field
House at CSUSM. I drifted into a fictional
world where panthers were capable of con-
verting into humans. The style in which
Jaffe delivered his performance was very
convincing and the music that Ayson created as Jaffe read aloud added to the surreal element and combined to create an
overall creepy feeling.
The four narratives provided humorous
moments as well, and the audience, including myself, let out loud bursts of laughter.
Other moments during the readings made
me think deeply. The whole performance
was very fascinating and thought-provoking.
"Overall, I was really very happy with
the reading and really look forward to
more readings on campus that are coming
up. It's great that the school is giving its
students an opportunity to hear published
authors read form their work, and [I] would
like to see this kind of thing happen more
often on campus," said Rivas.
For those reading this article and feeling
left out, do not fret. Linh Dinh, a fiction
writer and poet, will be performing Thursday, October 26 at 7 p.m. at the Clarke
Field House in the Grand Salon. See you
there.

THE DEPARTED: A NEW CLASSIC
BY JENNIFER SANCHEZ
Pride Staff Writer
I waited for "The Departed" for
weeks, but poor Hollywood's been
waiting for most of 2006. If you're a
real movie fan, you know this one is a
sure thing: Martin Scorsese, a crime
tale, and a bunch of Hollywood mantalent. Set in Boston, it's a typical
Scorsese blood-and-guts film (think
"Casino," "Taxi Driver"). Here's a
comparison: it's darker than, but has
the compelling story of "Lock, Stock,
and Two Smoking Barrels," without the intersecting plot lines and
oodles of characters to remember.
But it's tamer than "Reservoir Dogs"
or "Pulp Fiction," with a more commercial, solid crime-suspense story.
In fact, the story is as enthralling as
the acting, especially good for someone with a short term memory like
me (who sometimes wonders halfway through a film, "Who who, what
what?''). Such a person will thoroughly enjoy "The Departed," as the
plot is easy to follow, but engaging—I
never once wondered how long we
had been in the theater, but wondered
what the hell was going to happen
next: true evidence of cinematic captivation.
The story centers on a sort of Boston
Mafia, headed by Frank Costello, and
the Boston State Police. Costello,
played by none other than Jaek Nicholson, picks a young Colin Sullivan
(Matt Damon) to mentor into his gang.
Later, Sullivan enters the police academy and slickly infiltrates the "Staties" Organized Crime Unit as a detective. There he warns "Dad" Costello
every time the police are onto him.
The only problem is two detectives,
Queenan (Martin Sheen) and Digriam
(Mark Wahlberg), who place a freshly
graduated cop, Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio), as a Costello infor-
mant. Planted in jail and drug deals,
Billy wins Costello's confidence and
joins the gang. This is when the story
gets good. Entirely unaware of each
other, Costigan calls the cops on
Costello while Sullivan calls them off.
Voila, both sides smell a rat. Costigan
and Sullivan, one fearing his life and
the other his job, both desperately try
to identify the other. It goes on like
that for a long, satisfyingly suspenseful while. Of course there's blood and
stuff, and a love triangle, but I won't
tell you who gets popped or who's the
baby's daddy or how it-ends., I'm not
that rude.
Because you are going to see this
movie, if only to gawk at Mark Wahlberg (who my husband and I could
only refer to as "Marky-Mark") and
his bull-cut-damn-near-mullet. Wahlberg also delivers most of the requisite
off-color jokes, though they're strewn
left and right by the cops and the bad
guys so much, they're distracting. Also
distracting are the Boston accents. I'm
a sucker for even the slightest male
Eastern accent, but these ones don't
work, even for Massachusetts natives
Wahlberg and Damon (whose charming Boston accent was still deliciously
intact for "Good Will Hunting"). Still,
Damon's is most believable compared
to the others, which seem to fade iñ and
out; I don't think Leo even attempts
his. But Nicholson, predictably, is
extremely believable as the half-crazy
crime boss Costello. Damon, who typically doesn't play the bad-guy role,
does it well because he looks so much
like a good guy—the key to being
secretly bad. And Leo, fíate to say,
is excellent. His portrayal of a stresscrazed police informant/crime apprentice is consistently excellent. I grudgingly admit "The Departed" might
have made me á fan. Don't overlook
this classic suspense film. Oscar certainly won't.

�Drink of the Week
fall
ris p
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
As most apple-lovers well know, apple
season blossoms in late September and
continues well into November. Though,
due to storage techniques available today,
apples are available year-round, and for
the traditionalist there is really no more
appealing time than autumn to enjoy
them.
Along with pears, peaches plums,
and apricots, to
name
a few, the
apple is a
member of
the rose family,
a fact perhaps
most beautifully
expressed in Robert
Frost's poem, "The Rose
Family."
This healthful fruit, rich in
fiber and flavonoids, has long
been praised for its ability to
"keep the doctor away" and was
associated in ancient times with
immortality and reincarnation.
The apple was also a symbol of
love and fertility and often associated with wisdom. Taking all this
into consideration, is it really any
wonder that Gwyneth Paltrow named
her firstborn after this most remarkable of fruits? ^ ^ i l ^ f i |
Perhaps, though, even Eve would
blush at the vast array of apple recipes modern apple-connoisseurs have at
their disposal. Aside from such mainstream favorites as apple pie, apple turnovers, candied apples, caramel apples,
and the more exotic delights, such as
apple tabouleh and apple risotto, there
is the sweetly sinful collection of appleinspired cocktails.
One of the simplest apple cocktails is
the Fall Crisp. A mixture of 1 to 2 ounces
of vodka and 14 ounces of apple cider,
shaken in a cocktail shaker with ice and

is not only crisp, but it's also sweet and
definitely refreshing: By no means a drink
one would drink expressly to get drunk,
the Fall Crisp will nonetheless produce
a pleasant buzz. For a festive alternative,
take a walk on the wild side and substitute sparkling apple cider. Either way, it
is possible to drink one's apple a day. Live

CD Review
BY BRANDI BLAHNIK
Pride Staff Writer
What's so refreshing about
The Oohlas' sound isn't the
upbeat melodies, which are so
infectious at points that it's easy
to pick out favorites from their
debut album, "Best Stop Pop."
No, what's so refreshing about
The Oohlas is that it's fairly clear
it never occurred to band members Olivia Stone and brothers,
Mark and Greg Eklund, to shape
their sound into a clearly definable genre. Sometimes eletronica, sometimes indie-rock that
invokes the spirit of Beck, the
band's sound is a combination
of loud, toe-tapping riffs and
reserved harmonies that contrast
in a way that works with the dark
subject matter of the album.
The ride of the album is
spacey. The opening track on the
album, "Gone," evokes a topsyturvy feeling reminiscent of the
final scene of "The Labyrinth"
Float through the perfect harmonies and scratchy guitar riffs;
this one is well-worth the ride.
The highlight of the album is
Stone's vocals, however, which
dominate most of the tracks.
Her sweet sound on the track
"Tripped" belies the song's dark
subject matter: "You're aging
fast/Your skull is thick/Keep
drinking darkness stupid prick/
And I'd rather die than watch
you drown/Breathing the dust
and shoving coffee down." It's
one of the many tracks devoted
to what is, seemingly, a story
of love lost. "TV Dinner" is
another favorite and a true shining moment for Stone. Here
she ditches the reserved tone
and breaks out mid-track into
an accusatory cry of anguish:
"I don't know where to go anymore/Why don't you love me?*'
The final track is the pinnacle
of the album; "The Rapid" has
a sound epic enough for a Coldplay single with its steady, building sound. Here the band quietly
asserts a claustrophobic need:
"There are too many people
here/Far too many people near/
I don't want to get too close/It's
not healthy." The sound is complex, but here Stone's amiable
voice compliments the MiddleEastern rhythm in a soothing
DA O Fin?CnrAT

R
DDViirf? T
way, a departure from the fastpaced tracks that play before
it. It's a joy to listen to—again,
despite the subject matter—and
a nice finish to our space ride
through "Best Stop Pop."
Although much of the album
is a delight, tracks with one of
the two Eklunds on lead vocals
fall short. By comparison they
seem bland and tired—a sound
we've heard before (see Beck
Images courtesy of The Oohlas
above). Stone makes the difference here, her sharp intonation a truly unique sound from
other current albums. Although
I give the album four paws, it's
probably best suited for those
already comfortable with artists
a little offbeat. Fans of alternative should find The Oohlas'
upbeat tempos familiar, but with
an overall refreshing sound and,
in a word, different. ;

Hailing from London, DragonForce
unleashes a sonic plague of merciless
shred and callous metal. Signed to Road

released their third album, "Inhuman

All That Remains, opener for DragonForce, packed up their equipment after a

mutiny that would soon blast House

Pride Staff Writer
Dr. Sharon Elise shared statistical facts
and public misconceptions about the racial
discrimination generated toward the poor
black communities of New Orleans and
neighboring affected areas. Elise highlights how the faces of Hurricane Katrina
victims are overwhelmingly black, with
In an effort to promote extra-curricular
engagement in the students of Cal State
San Marcos, the Associated Students,
Inc. began the process of implementing
a University Hour. A University Hour is
defined as a time during the week, usually one to two hours, during which no
classes are scheduled for undergraduates. This would provide a common time
for student organizations to meet, extracurricular events to occur and for study
groups to convene.
"University Hour, which will
strengthen our students' college experience, will also serve the Cal State San
Marcos Mission by empowering students to be active participants in building a community through co-curricular
engagement while promoting Cal State
San Marcos Core Values," said Marc
DeGuzman, ASI president and chief
executive officer.
The National Survey of Student
Engagement (NSSE) results indicate that
Cal State San Marcos students cite lack
of co-curricular engagement as a main
reason for leaving our campus. University
Hour will allow Cal State San Marcos to
actively address our low retention rates
by providing opportunities for the entire
campus community to engage all students
in co-curricular programming.

Misconceptions about alcohol on campus

Pride Staff Writer
Recent news articles published in The

campus' prohibiting the consumption of
alcohol on the campus property. Dean of
Students, Jonathan Poullard felt this misconception about campus policy needed to
be rectified.

events where alcohol could be drunk," said
Poullard. Cal State San Marcos' policies
deem that San Marcos is not a dry campus,
contrary to popular student belief.
Without a bar or liquor sales on campus,
CSUSM may give the appearance of being
a dry campus. Students may recall the
recent Oktoberfest event that served root
beer at the celebratory gathering, or the
Jazzfest event that promoted safe-drinking offering mocktails instead of cocktails. However, policy allows for alcohol to
be served in the form of beer and wine on
campus.
By filling out the correct forms students, faculty and staff can obtain permission to serve and consume alcohol on
campus. This form, known as the Alcohol
Approval Request Form, gives cougars the
opportunity to submit requests for alcohol
approval.
"There are several campus entities that
a group or individual must secure authorization from" said Poullard. These authorizations are in compliance with school
policies set up for the safety of students.
The University Police is not only required
to sign off on the alcohol use form, but the
police are usually required at any alcohol
related events.
Individuals are also allowed to submit
a request for alcohol on campus as well,
however most commonly the request is
made by student organizations in compliance with the policy.
"The most typical places for student initiated events where alcohol is served is in
the Clarke Field House, but events are not
limited to this venue," said Poullard.

Associate Professor of Sociology, Dr. Sharon Elise said, "as a
faculty member, I also note that
University Hour will enhance
students' ability to get together
with their classmates for study
groups, for group projects and
even for something as simple as a
cup of coffee with a classmate."
CSU Los Angeles, CSU Monterey Bay and CS Polytechnic
University Pomona are the three
CSU campuses that have a University Hour in place. Additionally, Mira Costa College, one of
our local educational partners,
also has a University Hour. ASI
has received positive feedback of
having a University Hour.
History Professor Patricia
Seleski, Ph.D said, "I agree that
building community is an important priority for the campus but
I donrt think we think creatively
enough about how you can do
that on a commuter campus. We
tend to take 'solutions' that work
well for small, residential liberal
arts colleges (partly because so
many faculty and student services types come from this background) where most students are
of traditional age and don't work
more than 20 hours a week, if
or older weighing at least 110
pounds are welcome to donate.
However, the San Diego Blood
Bank does have donor restrictions. Medical conditions, certain medications, travel in
selected areas, exposure to
Hepatitis, recent tattoos or cold/
flu-like symptoms may prevent
potential donors from participating in the blood drive. Participants should be prepared to
answer a brief medical history
questionnaire and communicate
with nurses about eligibility.
"Hospital patients depend
on blood donations every three
seconds ... it saves lives," said
Walter-Brown. Donations are
most often used in auto accidents,
heart surgeries, organ transplants, bone marrow treatments
and third degree burn victims.
The San Diego Blood Bank
encourages students to start
donating at a young age, since
young adults are typically in
ideal healthy and bounce back
better after donations. Many of
San Diego Blood Bank's active
donors are in their late 70s and
80s and are becoming ineligible
to donate do to health restrictions and illness, said WalterBrown.

that, and insist that these same
solutions ought to work at a
campus like CSUSM where the
student profile is much different. We do this rather than saying
'well, maybe the sense of community here has to be created in a
different way because of who our
students are and what their lives
are really like ~ so how do we do
that?'"
Academic Senate originally
denied the ASI proposal for a University Hour on May 4, 2005 for
several reasons, which included
concerns over the impact on 4unit courses, especially in the
afternoon and evening and demonstration of the effectiveness of
University Hour. The Associated
Students Inc. Board of Directors
recently had a new proposal that a
University Hour be implemented
between the hours of 2:30 to 4:00
p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays,
to be implemented in the Academic Schedule in Fall 2006.
ASI recognizes that certain
courses and degree programs do
not lend themselves to University
Hour scheduling. Post-Baccalaureate classes, Teacher Credential
Programs and courses or labs
three hours or more in length will
be exempted from the University
Hour.
"We tend to assume that just
because students don't stay on
campus and participate in things
it is because they don't feel a
sense of belonging at CSUSM and
we don't often enough consider
that many students don't participate because they can't ~ in fact,
it's all they can do to squeeze the
time out to take classes, study and
get their degree," said Seleski.
ASI developed and administered a student survey in Fall
2004, The survey data indicated that the majority of survey
respondents believe that the
creation of a 'University Hour'
would benefit the campus.
"But, while I laud the goal of
University Hour, I don't think
the reasons for doing it are more
compelling than the needs of students to graduate on a schedule
(and at a final cost of both dollars and 'years') more or less of
their choosing. I think University Hour will cause problems
for more students that it will
help. And in the end, I'm not
willing to do that to students —
especially in the absence of any
hard data that demonstrates that
University Hour will improve
community life on campus,"
said Seleski.
The next Academic Senate
meeting will be voting on the
proposed University Hour on
Nov. 2. For more information on
the University Hour please see

Walter-Brown added that all
donors should bring a photo ID,
relax, and know that donating is
easy.
Those interested in donating
are encouraged to drink plenty of
fluids and eat a good meal within
4 hours before donating and be
well-rested to prevent fatigue.

formal action has ever been
taken by students, faculty,
staff or administrators in
the development," Poullard
stated.
The main purpose for
authorization of any alcohol
on campus is safety. Safety is
a key issue at hand when dealing with an alcohol related
matter on campus. Poullard
noted that safety is "a huge
role" in deciding approval.
All alcohol events require
ID verification, police presence, a request at least fourweeks prior to event, all distribution of alcohol must be
handled by a licensed caterer
approved by CSU Foundation,
organization must maintain
general liability insurance,
no kegs or bulk containers are
permitted, food and non-alcoholic beverages are required
to be served if alcohol is
available and organization is

the most vulnerable people being the
elderly and women with young children. Elise points out that historically
society tends to point the finger at the
victim. Implications questioning why
people didn't evacuate suggest that
these individual lack intelligence,
although many people with this view
fail to acknowledge that over 20 percentage of New Orleans residents do
not have access to a car nor the monetary resources to pick-up and leave.
Much like the real-estate property
values in San Diego, altitude is positively correlated with high-end homes
that are primarily white, Elise commented. New Orleans has a similar
situation; the "least affected areas
were white areas" because higher
altitudes were not subjected to mass
flooding.
"Blacks are being treated as criminals, not as victims fleeing a natural
disaster" said Elise in response to the
racial news-reporting suggesting that
blacks 'loot' and whites 'find' supplies
for survival. "We are not afraid to call
it what it is: institutionalized racism
despite the white hegemony of discourse" Elise argued.
Elise suggests that there are two
possible reasons to explain this racial
disparity: either something is wrong
with black people or something is
being done wrong to black people. But
racism isn't isolated in New Orleans.
Elise warns attendees of a grim correlation: "the blacker (something) gets,
the less funding it receives."
Elise urges our students and faculty
to acknowledge the "black face of poverty, the black face of death row, the
black face of unemployment and the
white face of the White House."

University Police offer escort services to promote
safety at Cal State San Marcos and around the surrounding community by providing police-assisted
rides to and from campus buildings, parking lots
and immediately adjacent areas of the campus.
The escort service has been offered at Cal State
San Marcos since the University Police Department has been on campus, but with increased living
accommodations on and around campus the police
are boosting up the circulation of information on
department services to ensure that our campus is a
safe environment.
Escort services are available to students, faculty, staff and guests to CSUSM. While the service
focuses on after-hour safety, escorts are available
from dawn to dusk, all hours of the day, as an additional safety measure.
"It's 24-7 and most people don't realize that," said
Officer Herman Hernandez about the escort service. "The police department is 24 hours."
Anyone can take advantage of this service
regardless of the reason or absence of immediate
threat. Many academic classes are held in the late
evening and with day-light savings time around the
corner, it will be getting darker sooner. Police will
escort and accompany students to their car, dorm,
bus stops and even the Prominence Apartments,
located behind the paved student parking lots. Students may also request an escort if their having
problems or being harassed by another person on
campus. Regardless of the reason, to arrange an
escort call (760) 750-4567 and a Community Service Officer will escort you by car, bicycle or on
foot to a campus facility, parking lot or immediate
local residence.
The University Police are expanding their dedication to campus safety by offering the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) workshop to female students
scheduled on Oct. 18, 19, 25 and 26 from 4 to 7
p.m. in the Grand Salon of the Clarke Field House.
The RAD program is sponsored by the University
Police and ASI.
The three-hour training provides female students
with self-defense techniques and maneuvers, and
presents information on awareness, rape-prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance. The workshop is $20 and includes free lifetime admission to
RAD sessions to enhance skills or take refresher
courses. To enroll in a workshop, contact Officer
Carla Kuamoo, the University Police Department's
certified RAD Instructor at (760) 750-4567.

History Repeats Itself
Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca approached
racism through a historical lens and
focused on how policies formulate
racial categories to assert blame to the
victim. Comparing the Irish potato
famine with Hurricane Katrina,
Avalos-C'DeBaca argues that both
governments blamed the disaster and
circumstances on natural causes. However, Avalos-C'DeBaca contends that
both governments fail to take responsibility in their role of worsening the
tragedy. British elites were quoted
that the potato famine would serve
as a cleansing of society arguing that
'survival of the fittest' justified lose
of life. And after Hurricane Katrina,
former First Lady Barbara Bush was
quoted that the relief efforts were good
enough for the 'underprivileged.'
"How will we remember Hurri-
prean
cane Katrina in two, five, ten or 100
years?" Avalos-C'DeBaca said. With
the media shaping our collective popular memory of Hurricane Katrina,
we need to continue conversations and
analyze the role of racial policies and
attitudes that will form our recollection of this moment in our history.
"Theories do not save people;
action saves people. Take the risk of
speaking out," said Avalos-C'DeBaca.
Allowing the media to mold our own
interpretations of the events and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will prevent our society from recognizing the
social-politics that oppress and blame
the victims.
White Racism Still Exists
Dr. Dreama Moon took the foundation of Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca's argument and expanded the context advocating attendees to "keep an eye on the
traditional mainstream story and who
gets to tell it." Much knowledge can
be acquired through recognizing who
tells the, story.
Dr. Moon compiled exerts taken
from the American Renaissance, a
monthly magazine available online,
with conservative white racial views.
Moon utilized the exerts to demonstrate to students and faculty the
hatred and hate speech directed to the
black victims of Hurricane Katrina.
One view shared from American
Renaissance exclaimed "got a nigger
shortage in your town - don't worry
they got a bus load of niggers coming
to your town." Other exerts encouraged white-only aid expressing some
whites wanting to "help (their) people,
but the muds and spies be damned."
Moon encouraged attendees to be
aware of the deep racism that exists in
our society, arguing that knowledge is
necessary to deconstruct the inequity
that marginalizes noliwhites.
Open Discussion
Open to questions, comments and
personal experiences, students, faculty
and guests discussed the prevalence of
racism at Cal State San Marcos and
the walls that prevent communication about these issues. The panelists
encouraged attendees to engage in
dialogue on poverty, race, gender and
politics.
Several students shared their frustrations, grievances and experiences
on race. Sociology student, Lisa W.
expressed her feelings of racism on
campus. "It's the students I'm disappointed with, not my professors," Lori
said.
"A great-white walk out" occurred
according to one audience member.
She felt that white students left when
racism got too real for them, when
she observed over 20 people leave the
forum during Dr. Moon's lecture dis-
cussing white-racial views towards
blacks.
"But many stayed. I can only
focus on those that show up and
stay," responded Moon. "For white
students there's a d ifferent cost
for racial consciousness; (they)
are likely to be ostracized by the
white community. White people
can be ruthless and they can be
r uthless to their own," explained
Moon.
Avalos-C'DeBaca pleaded with
students not to get discouraged
in trying to open communication
on race. "If you believe you can't
change the world, you've been
conned. It takes courage to hope,"
Avalos-C'DeBaca said.
"We don't have time to be hopeless,"
Moon added.
An audience member commented,
"we're in college now and this is where
we learn how tofight.That is what I've
learned."

Campus wildlife
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
With Cal State San Marcos still in
the beginning phases of its projected
construction and growth, the original
inhabitants of the brush-covered hillsides surrounding campus have been
reluctant to be pushed out.
There is an "abundance of wildlife" here at Cal State San Marcos said
Steve Waiters, the Assistant Director
of Operations. Aside from the preponderance of rabbits that cover the lawns
in the early morning around campus,
there is a large array of other wildlife also calling the acreage surrounding CSUSM home. Roadrunners,
for example, can be seen mornings
making their way along the outskirts
of campus, as can coyotes, which can
be observed around campus in the
morning and evening.
"At one time there used to be a herd
of deer," said Waiters referring to a
small enclave of about 6 or 7 of these
large creatures living nearby. Although
the herd has not been spotted for sometime, occasional pairs of deer can still
be seen with the proper timing. One of
the shrubs originally selected by gardeners to be planted on campus even
attracted a few of the deer onto the
campus itself. Yet the shrub has since
ceased being planted as the deer were
feeding on them as soon as they were
placed in the ground.
As for the namesake of CSUSM, the
cougar, or mountain lion, this increasing rare Californian is not a frequent
sight near the campus. Although mountain lions have occasionally been seen
in nearby communities, complaints
from fearful residents and rapid urbanization have pushed this endangered
cat away from its native territory.
Still, many species of wildlife have
held on, for now, to the territory they
call home. The animals "just have to
know when to come out and not be
heard," said Watters. Yet as the campus
continues to grow it is likely that the
sightings of wildlife near campus will
probably decline over time.
As for now though, the army of
squirrels that often line the walkway
from the dirt lot in the late afternoon,
like many creatures on the fringes of
CSUSM, are happy to stay right where
they are.

Saleski asserted. "History 'gives'
the present we have to struggle with (and sometimes against)
every day."
According to Seleski, view. ing the Middle East, or any other
current events issue, through a
historical lens tends to complicate matters as many stay loyal
to the historical memory they've
learned, even though that memory
may not be accurate. The history
department believes that increasing people's knowledge of historical situations will enable them to
figure out new solutions to past
and current conflicts. "Understanding the past isn't just about
'nursing old wounds', it can also
be about finding commonalities
and finding ways of reconciliation."
Seleski assures students that
the history department does not
have an agenda, nor is it trying
to enforce any particular view
on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The history department is
mainly offering students, faculty,
and the public an opportunity to
hear different views on Middle
East peace issues from various
speakers who have different relationships to the issues as way of
encouraging dialogue within the
community. Those involved are
also aware that these issues might
be a sensitive topic to some due to
its political aspect and in light of
the political dissention currently
occurring in the United States.
The speakers share only their
own viewpoints, and Saleski
reminds everyone attending that
the history department is not
promoting their perspectives as
truth, but hopes to ultimately

THE PRIDE
Miramar Air Show "The Sound of Freedom"
Student shares her
experience of the air show
BY SHANNON SHUREMAN
Special to The Pride
Are the pilots courageous or just plain
psycho? Either way, I was absolutely mesmerized by the talented pilots who strutted their stuff high in the sky today at the
Miramar Air show in San Diego, Calif.
The Miramar Air show celebrated its 50th
anniversary this weekend along with an
estimated 700,000 people. Spectators of
all ages and backgrounds flocked from
around the country to catch a glimpse
of the F-22 fly-by, Patriots jet team, or
the unbelievable Blue Angels. Along with
incredible air shows were the 100 or more
aircraft on display, including planes from
World War II, Vietnam, and aircraft still in
use today. I was at the event from 11 a.m.
until 9 p.m. and can honestly say there was
not a dull moment.
I have never been big into military type
stuff but today I found myself lost in military heaven. I was eager to learn about
the array of amazing aircraft and found
myself in a trance gazing at the planes
moving faster than the speed of sound,
defying gravity.
I was almost brought to tears, or maybe
that was just the effects of staring into the
sun for a couple of hours. Neither words
nor my photos can do these extremely talented pilots justice. I just know, attending this event has reminded me of what an
inspiring country we live in and has given
me the sudden urge to travel in a plane at
600 to 700 miles per hour. I would hitch a
ride in one of those any day!
Photos by Shannon Shureman / The Pride

Right: Navy jet soars above the clouds.
Blue Angels, these guys are my heroes!
The Blue Angels have been in flight since
the 1940's continually advancing their aircraft to be faster and more precise. The
team consists of six of the most highly
trained pilots in the country. The commanding officer of the team is required to
have 3,000 hours of tactical jetflighthours
and flies the number one jet. The other
five members are required 1,200 tactical
jet flight hours and man jets two thru six.
Since 1946 The Blue Angels have flown
for over 393 million fans.

�CSUSM Cross C ountry Toam
prepares f or Nationals
BY HEATitER M. ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
With the regional competition
right around the corner, both the
men's and women's cross country teams are working hard to
keep up their top 10 rank. The
regional competition is to be
held in Fresno on November
fifth. This day will ultimately
determine which teams within
the region will then move on to
Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky just a few weeks later.
The cross country team is
part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA). This allows the team to
go up against several divisions
of athletes and more importantly
the best competition. According to head coach Steve Scott,
"With better competition our
teams will get pulled to faster
times."
The men and women compete at several invitationals
and following each meet they
are ranked according to their
times. The cougars have had
four meets so far and as of last
week the men's team is ranked
eight and the women's team is
ranked sixth. At the regional
competition the first place team
moves on to nationals along
with the top 20 teams according
to their rank following the meet.
With both teams already ranking within the top 10, they are
confident that nationals will be

in their near future.
At the nationals competition
the top four teams place out of
27 that qualified. Steve Scott
commented, "Talent wise I think
both teams have the ability to
place at nationals." According
to Steve the real trick is being
able to have all your athletes run
their best race all in the same
day. It's about being prepared
mentally and physically and
experience always helps ease
the nerves. Steve explained,
"We have the potential and
that's all you can hope for when
going into a national meet."
Friday, Oct. 21 the cougars
will be heading to Fullerton
for their final meet before the
regional competition.

Pugh comes to CSUSM from
Mission Bay high school, where
he has spent 26 years in varying
positions such as head baseball
coach, head football coach, and
athletic director.
I am particularly thrilled about
the hiring of Dennis Pugh, not
only because he brings an established presence to a new program,
but because I know what kind of
person he is.
Over the past two years while

Milo and Pugh will both be
working part time this semester
as they begin the transition from
their current jobs to recruiting

Once again, I commend Athletic Director, Dr. Nichols, and
the University for selecting two
well deserving coaches to lead
CSUSM into new territory.

Escape to reality
BY ERICA DAVIS
Special to The Pride
Reality TV - we all know by
now that's an oxymoron . The plots
and storylines of shows such as
Survivor and The Amazing Race
rival the ones put out by the morning soaps. Even reality shows with
no focus on competition, such as
Extreme Makeover- Home Edition,
have no basis in reality. I've not met
ANYONE personally who had Shea
Homes show up one day and decide
to give them a new house full of
all the coolest new Sears appliances. I used to think gossip was
the link between all of these shows.
When Johnny Fairplay lied about
his grandmother's death to other
Survivor's, he instantly became the
contestant America loved to hate,
and then talk about for weeks. Reality shows started as water cooler
shows. I've found in my own work
life, few sitcom discussions. Rarely
does someone ask if I've seen the
latest episode of Law and Order
and yet many friends and cowork-
ers love to gossip about the newest
argument to erupt on a Swedish hillside on The Amazing Race, albeit
in more hushed tones these days.
These competitive shows, such
as Big Brother, that often involve
some sort of "on-screen" romance
draw viewers in. As if we were all
in High School again watching a
couple break-up in the hallway; we
like talking about it. There is something very realistic about the way
we REACT to these shows, even if
they are completely staged. So, if
it is gossip driving the competitive
shows, then why does a non-competitive show, like Home Makeover strike a chord? Ironically, it's
because it IS providing an escape
from reality . The "dream shows,"
enable us to imagine that we too
could have that new 7 bedroom, 6
bath house complete with a recording studio for the 13 year old son
and brand new Expedition in the
driveway. IF our personal struggle
is sad enough to win the network's
attention, that is. Gone are the days
where your life's suffering meant a

plentiful afterlife, but now Ty Pennington in your front yard with a
bull horn screaming "Move that
bus!" Instant, earthly rewards!! It
gives you a reason not only to root
for the underdog, but to want to BE
the underdog. But, as the old saying
goes, it only takes one bad apple to
rot the whole barrel and for those of
us dedicated Make-Over and Race
fans that've been around since the
beginning, we're the new lepers,
"reality TV people." The very term
"reality TV" suggests your viewing standards are sub-par. With
mindless and degrading shows such
as "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire Midget," and "I Want to
be a Hilton," programming itself
has been degraded and I'm even
ashamed to be included in the reality
TV watching demographic because
everyone assumes each show is like
the worst show out there. I feel the
pain of soap opera fans everywhere.
The folks I see who have followed
Luke and Laura and don't want to
admit it out loud. Yes, Reality TV
watchers have been thrown down
to the floor as well - and so unhappily. It wasn't always this way and
perhaps that is why it stings. People
assume I'm unable to discern quality from crap. Half the time I don't
even defend reality TV anymore,
I'm too embarrassed. Art is subjective, I want to yell. But, reality TV
is not art, I remind myself. So, privately I watch The Amazing Race
and publicly talk about that other
great CBS show, CSI - because that
stuff totally happens in real life!

Then I saw the pumpkin people.
Someone digs out the stem of this natural fruit and shoves
artificial hair into it, They paint on a facial expression, and
give it a tag with a common human name to finish off the
transformation.
The pumpkin person I found had face-planted into the
other gourds. Its 'teeth' were chipped as a result of this and
it only had half a lip left. It had grey 'hair' and the name
'Jack'.
The tag actually said 'Hello, my name is Jack. I love
risky adventure! I'm clever, spunky, and always on the go
go go! Let's rock and roll!'
I looked at it and realized that no normal person would
ever buy this pumpkin, now that the tumble had made it
defective.
As I stared at the chunks of humanness missing from
Jack's 'face', I felt the sudden realization that there was
justice in the world after all. Jack wasn't ugly or defective. He was simply fighting against
mankind's

Editor from a local
^¡¡¡¡H
ts^^S
Dear Editor Long:
As a local resident and taxpayer, I was disturbed (to say the
least) when reading the recent
"article" in The Pride Online Edition titled "Race and Class Discrimination in Relief Efforts."
This article, written by Christine Vaughan, was hardly a true
news story but rather an editorial. As such, is should have been
located in the Opinion section of
the newspaper.
The author states as fact the
conspiratorial speculations of
activist professors. As scary as
it is that such non-academics are
actually paid by the tax-payer to
peddle such ridiculous theory and
ideology, it is even more disturbing that their rants are conveyed
as fact to the student body.
For example, the lead in to the
article states "The forum focused
on the ongoing racial discrimination, 'hyper-segregation', institutionalized class inequity and
I have a problem with an article
how Katrina is being considered
a man-made disaster." A more
honest article would have made it
abundantly clear how such beliefs
are rather the opinion of a very,
very small minority ("minority"
referring to segment of the population smaller than
50%... not a person's ethnicity)
who have little non-biased data to
support their theories.
The "Blaming the Victims"
section reeks of propaganda and
is an obvious attempt to shape
the beliefs of an impressionable
student body rather than to report
facts. A fact is that Dr. Elise
made certain assertions—not that
those assertions are facts.
The article continues to supposedly deal with the issue of
racism in the United States.
However, the
only fact that it seemed to
accurately portray is that certain
professors at CSUSM, who make
their livelihood off peddling the
perception that white racism is
the cause of all problems associated with non-white communities, are ardent and devout racists
themselves.
For instance, in the "White
Racism Still Exists" section of
the article, Dr. Moon is quoted as
saying,
"For white students there's
a different cost for racial consciousness; (they) are likely to be
ostracized by the white community. White people can be ruthless and they can be ruthless to
their own."
This statement, if reported
accurately, is demonstrative of
the foul stench of racism that
is emitted from certain faculty members at CSUSM. Dr.
Moon obviously has engaged in
an blatant over-generalization
about "white people"—a generalization that is hardly rooted in
fact. Instead, this generalization
is obviously, to even the most
untrained observer, an ignorant
attempt to attribute one person's
biased views to an entire population.
The article reports that numerous white members of the audience got up and left during the
discussion, and then continues by
quoting a student who attributes
the mass exodus to the student's
inability to deal with what is
considered "real" about racism.
Could it be, however, that white
students left because of the antiwhite bias that was obviously
at the heart of the discussion?
Rather than seeking to get to the
root ofthe problem (the "problem"
referring to the disproportionate
number of African-American citizens who were affected by Hurricane Katrina), the professors
were merely there to advocate an
extreme, negative and order-line
anarchistic approach to dealing
with issues that have an alleged
racial component. The reader
need only refer to the final line of
the article: An audience member
commented, "we're in college
now and this is where we learn to
fight. That is what I've learned."
Additionally, I find it interesting that Dr. Moon chose the
"American Renaissance" as an
example of the hatred put forth
towards African-American victims of Hurricane Katrina. Being
a strong conservative myself, and
reading and writing quite often
about a number of issues related
to race, policy, and government,
I found it interesting that an
obscure, racist publication such
as the "American Renaissance"
was being used to portray the
beliefs of white people. As a
matter of fact, I had never even
heard of the
"American Renaissance" prior
to it being mentioned in the article.
Perhaps it is because I do not
frequent racist websites...websites where some professors from
CSUSM obviously go to get their
"facts" on white America. The
fact that this online magazine
was referred to as
a magazine of "conservative
white racial views", while technically correct (according to American Renaissance's own descrip-
»
tion of itself), is hardly accurate
in depicting the general c onsent
sus beliefs of white conservative
Americans.
Perhaps this is yet another fine
example of professors coming to
conclusions and then seeking out
facts to meet their pre-conceived-«
notions.
I would appreciate it if the editorial staff would take greater
care in the future to make sure
that facts are reported as facts,
and ideas, theories, or specula-*
tion be reported appropriately.
For instance, perhaps when the
author reports that Dr. Sharon
Elise reports "statistical facts and
public misconceptions" she could
provide examples of those facts.
I would be very interested to see
where those "statistics" originate
from.
Thank you for your time. I
look forward to reading a more
professional version of The Pride '
in the coming months.
Perhaps next month you could
take the same exact story and
re-print it with all of the races
flipped. White would become
black and black or African-Amer- *
ican would become white. Then
read the article again and tell me
if it passes the "there's a racist in
our midst" smell test.

Marcus Dexter

strange recurring dream about
the founding of the island. Later,
it is found that the four founders, Castle, Williams, Wayne and
Malone of Antonio Island pillaged and murdered the inhabitants of the island with a stale
deal. Elizabeth, along with many
others, is killed and seeks later
revenge on the family members
of the founders. A fog comes
to the island with seemingly
unnatural patterns and carries
the pledge, "Blood for Blood."
During the movie's latter part,
family members Of the founders
are systemically killed. The fog
finally lifts when Tom Malone is
killed for this great-grandfather's
treachery with Elizabeth becoming a part of the fog.
Wainwright unfortunately uses
special effects in place of dialog
and story. Much of the action
is indeed scary but that is only
because of loud music and knocking. Many in the audience were
laughing about some of the socalled scary moments. Much of
the dialog comes across flat and
ridiculous with little or no feeling and inflection. A great movie
enables the audience to become
emotional involved with the
actors and action. In this movie
however the audience has a profound detachment from the action
as if it was a silly and unimportant event. Not to mention that
some special effects looked a
little too unreal and one knew
it was a special effect or a poor
planned one. While some effects
looked poorly planned, other special effects looked realistic and
held extraordinary power.
The audience seemed disappointed with the lack of concrete
story, dialogue, and audience
empathy, though some of the
special effects dazzled the eyes.
The Fog was almost a complete
disappointment but it did have its
redeeming value.

As the air turns

Julian, a quaint mountain retreat located
among pine and oak-covered hills of San
Diego, is a perfect weekend getaway. This
rustic mining town settled over 100 years
ago with a small population still today of
only 1,300.
This small mountain community is
known for its fruit orchards and country
charm. Stay in one of the many bed and
breakfasts and enjoy endless amounts of
'good oF home' cooked meals. With the
ovens running around the clock and the
sprawling apple orchards it's only natural
that Julian is home of award winning apple
pies. Apple Fest runs from September to
mid November that brings crowds from all
over the United States to hand pick their
very own apples.
Along the winding roads of Julian you

HOW 10 • • • make apple pie
BY HEATHER M. ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
Fall is here and the leaves are turning.
With the holiday'srightaround the
corner, family andfriendswill be
gathering for home cooked meals and
quality time. Instead of picking up
a dessert at your local grocery store,
amaze them with your own homemade
apple pie. Follow these simple How To
steps and you can't go wrong!
Ingredients for crust and filling:
Baking apples,firm,medium size
All purpose flour
Unsalted butter (cold).
Shortening
Cold water
One egg
Sugar, granulated
Salt
Cinnamon
Steps: How To make an apple pie crust
1. Mix 2 cupsflour,1 tablespoon of
sugar and lA teaspoon of salt in bowl.
2. Cut cold butter and shortening into
half inch pieces place into mix bowl.
3. In small bowl, whisk together egg
and water. Slowly add one tablespoon at
a toe, stirring continuously, to the dry
mix bowl. Dough should befirmenough
to stay together, not wet.
Steps: How To cook an apple pie
1. First, roll out the. dough that has been
chilled. Sprinkle a thin layer offlouron
pie mat, place one of the chilled discs
in the center and roll the dough using a
rolling pin until the dough is about 1/8
inch thick and the diameter is about 1
inch larger than the pie plate you will
use.
2. Carefully transfer the dough to the
pie plate and press the dough into the
bottom of the pan. Next trim the ldough
around the edges leaving about a A inch
over therimof the plate.
3. Spoon the cinnamon apple mixture
into the pie plate.
4. For the top crust, use second dough
disc and repeat the process of rolling it.
5. T^ke the remains of the egg/water
mix made previously and apply a layer
of moisture on the edge of the pastry
crust. It will seal the two layers better.
6. Move the top dough to the pie, and
once again trim the edges. Join the
top and bottom crust edges together by
pressing them with your fingers and
slightly roll it under. It will look wavy
all the way around.
7. Cut small slits into the top of the pie
crust or poke holes so that steam-will be
able to escape.
4. Make a ball with all the dough. Cut
ball in half. Flatten each of the two
halves into a disc shape about an inch
thick and wrap separately in plastic or
wax paper. Put these in the refrigerator
to chill for about 30 minutes.
8. While the oven is preheating at
425 degrees, place the entire pie in the
refrigerator to cool for about 10-15
.minutes.
Steps: How To make apple pie filling
9. Remove the piefromthe refrigerator
and use the rest of the egg/water mixture
to coat the top.
1. Peel the apples using a mechanical
peeler or a paring knife.
10. Place pie in the oven, and bake at
425 for 20 minutes. Then reduce the
